Skin Tag Removal at Las Vegas Integrative Dermatology – Dr. Kendall Egan, MD, FAAD

What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags (medical term: acrochordons) are small, soft, flesh-colored growths that often appear in skin folds such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, chest, groin, and under the breasts. While they are harmless and noncancerous, many people choose removal for comfort or cosmetic reasons.

At Las Vegas Integrative Dermatology, we see patients every week for skin tag removal. Whether your tags are irritated, painful, or simply unwanted, our goal is to make treatment safe, precise, and as comfortable as possible.

Why Do Skin Tags Develop?

Several factors can increase the chance of developing skin tags:

• Friction: Skin rubbing against skin or clothing

• Genetics: They may run in families

• Hormonal changes: Common in pregnancy

• Age: More frequent with aging skin

• Metabolic conditions: Linked with diabetes, insulin resistance, and obesity

Are Skin Tags Dangerous?

Most skin tags are completely benign, but it’s important to have them checked. At Las Vegas Integrative Dermatology, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Kendall Egan, MD, FAAD, examines all growths before removal to ensure they are not confused with other conditions. Skin cancer can sometimes look like a skin tag.

Why Patients Choose Our Clinic:

• 👩‍⚕️ Expert removal by a board-certified dermatologist

• ✂️ Gentle techniques that minimize scarring

• 💉 Numbing and local anesthesia available for maximum comfort and precision

• ⏱️ Fast, in-office procedures with little to no downtime

• 💳 Transparent pricing — no hidden costs

• 🌿 Integrative and traditional dermatology under one roof

Methods of Removal We Offer:

• Snip removal with sterile instruments

• Cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen) – freezing the skin tag

• Electrocautery – precise heat treatment

👉 Skin type matters when choosing the treatment. For patients with darker skin tones, liquid nitrogen can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation (dark or light spots). In these cases, snip removal or electrocautery are often safer, more precise options. At Las Vegas Integrative Dermatology, treatment choice is always tailored to your skin type to minimize risks and optimize results.

When to Consider Removal

Patients often request removal when skin tags are:

• Growing or multiplying

• Caught on jewelry or clothing

• Located in sensitive areas (like eyelids or groin)

• Affecting self-confidence or appearance

Skin Tag Removal FAQs

Are skin tags contagious?

No — skin tags are not contagious. They cannot spread from person to person.

Can I remove skin tags at home?

It’s not recommended. Over-the-counter devices and “DIY” methods can lead to scarring, infection, or incomplete removal. Professional removal by a dermatologist is the safest and most effective option.

Does insurance cover skin tag removal?

In most cases, skin tag removal is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. At Las Vegas Integrative Dermatology, we provide transparent, upfront pricing so you know the cost before your procedure.

Does skin tag removal hurt?

Most removals are quick and cause only minimal discomfort. For sensitive areas or patient preference, we offer numbing cream or local anesthesia to ensure the procedure is comfortable and precise.

Will skin tags come back after removal?

The treated skin tag will not grow back, but new tags can develop over time — especially in areas of friction or with certain risk factors (like genetics or hormonal changes).

How long does it take to heal?

Healing is typically very quick, with most patients experiencing only mild tenderness for a few days.

What’s the best removal method for my skin type?

That depends on your skin tone and the location of the tag. For lighter skin, liquid nitrogen may be an option. For darker skin types, we often recommend snip removal or electrocautery to reduce the risk of pigmentation changes. Every treatment is customized at Las Vegas Integrative Dermatology for safety and the best cosmetic outcome.
