julie gamble medical aesthetics | skin tag removal

As we get older, we often develop small skin tags. About 50-60% of people over the age of 50 have them. Sometimes they run in families. Their medical name is fibro-epithelial polyp or achondrochordon.

Skin tags are soft lumps, attached to the skin by a stalk. They are the same colour as your skin, and are usually under 0.5 cm in size. They tend to occur in the armpits, neck and groins. You may have only one, but usually there are several.

They do not turn into cancer, and they are not dangerous. However, they look unsightly, and they can be a nuisance (catching on clothing or jewellery), so you may wish to get rid of them.

Julie Gamble offers a quick and simple treatment for their removal.
