A waxy, “stuck-on” growth may be a seborrheic keratosis. A mole or wart also needs its own assessment.
Small growths can cause daily irritation
Skin tag removal is performed by Dr. Shaikh, M.D., after assessment of the growth and treatment site. An in-house consultation is recommended before removal. A changing, bleeding or uncertain growth needs diagnostic assessment before a cosmetic procedure.
Assess the tag. Select the approach.
The size, base and location of the growth help determine whether removal is suitable. Your provider explains the method and care plan before treatment.

Questions before you book?
Skin tags are benign growths often found where skin rubs. They are more common with age, pregnancy, higher body weight and some metabolic conditions, but a tag alone does not diagnose a health problem. Many persist; a comfortable, confirmed tag does not always need removal.
MarSha removes suitable skin tags by cutting away or cauterizing the growth. Dr. Shaikh assesses the diagnosis, size and site before selecting the method and aftercare.
Neck and underarm tags are common reasons to seek assessment. Facial or sensitive sites need individual review, and eyelid tags may need an eye specialist or dermatologist. Large tags, genital-area growths and ear lesions may also require a different referral pathway. Confirm site suitability before booking removal.
Discomfort and comfort measures depend on the method and size. Tenderness, a small wound, blister or crust can follow. Healing time varies; scarring and lasting lighter or darker skin are possible. Discuss your skin tone, scar history and expected care before treatment.
Do not cut, tie off or burn a growth yourself, or apply wart-remover acids to it. A presumed tag may be another lesion, and incorrect treatment can cause bleeding, burns, infection or scarring. Have an uncertain growth assessed before choosing any removal product or procedure.
MarSha MedSpa is self-pay. Your assessment guides the treatment plan and any personalized quotation. Call (919) 747-9733 or Contact Us to arrange your visit.
