What is Vaginal Skin Tag Removal?

Relieve Discomfort

How does it help individuals?

Vaginal skin tag is considered as medical or cosmetic procedure which consisit of the removal of small, soft, harmless growth of skin that develop around the vaginal or groin area. These tags are generally harmless, but may be unpleasant, in particular when the skin comes into contact with clothes or during intimate moments.

It may be performed in various ways, including surgical incision, cryotherapy (freezing), laser removal, or cauterisation (burning off). It is normally done under local anaesthesia, and recovery is quick with minimal downtime. If you have multiple skin tags or if a skin tag is particularly large, additional sessions may be necessary.

Benefits:

  • Ease discomfort or chafing
  • Improves hygiene
  • Reduces snagging risk
  • Prevents growth

The many types

Excision(Surgical Removal)

A physician utilises sterilised surgical scissors or a scalpel in order to cut off the skin tag at the base.

Cryotherapy (Freezing)

The skin tag is frozen with liquid nitrogen, and the tissue is destroyed. After a few days, the skin tag will come off.

Electrocautery (Heat Removal)

The tag is burned off with a cautery tool by a small electrical current.

Laser Removal

The tag is removed using a focused laser beam.

The procedure
Safe, Simple Remova
What can I expect during the treatment?

In the process of removing skin tags in vagina, the region is sterilised and anaesthetised locally. The tag is then removed by a process, such as excision, laser, freezing, or cauterisation. It is a fast process, there is very little blood loss, and you can leave the hospital the same day. Instructions for aftercare are given in order to heal properly.

Swift, Easy Recovery
Will I need time off to recover?

Usually no. The majority of patients are back to regular activities the same as the following day, but strenuous exercise or intimacy should be avoided in the short term.

Safety And Comfortability
Does the removal hurt?

Though local anaesthesia is typically provided to make you feel comfortable during the vaginal skin tag removal process, it can still cause you to experience a little pinch or sting.

Is it safe?

Yes, it’s a safe procedure with low risks when conducted by a qualified medical practitioner.

Understanding The Risks
Can a skin tag become cancerous?

No, skin tags are benign (non-cancerous). Nonetheless, any growth that alters in colour, size, or even shape should be checked.

Can I remove skin tags at home?

No, it is not advisable to remove it at home because it can cause irritation, infection, or scarring if not done properly. It is safer if a qualified doctor does the removal.

Post-treatment Expectations
Can skin tags come back after removal?

The removed tag will not regrow anymore. However, new tags may develop because of skin friction, hormonal fluctuations, or genetic factors.

Can I have sex after the procedure?

It is recommended to wait from 1 to 2 weeks or until you are fully healed to avoid irritation or infections.

The price
Factors Affecting Pricing
How much does removal of vaginal skin tag cost?

These neighbourhoods include Notting Hill and Chelsea, Kensington and Knightsbridge, in addition to Mayfair. Prices may range from £300 to £500 per skin tag and even higher for larger skin tags.

On the other hand, vaginal skin tag removal in those neighbourhoods with lower demands and more competitors may offer a lower price.

The essentials

  • Consultation: Your doctor will examine the skin tag and differentiate it from other skin lesions and decide on the most appropriate method of removal (e.g., cautery, cryotherapy, excision). Questions about your past medical condition, allergies, and prescribed/over-the-counter medicine will be asked.
    Personal Hygiene: Shower or bathe on your scheduled date to keep the area clean. Do not put lotions, powders, or creams on the area unless advised.
    Trim or shave: You may be advised to trim or shave your pubic hair around the treatment area, but be sure to follow your doctor’s advice.
    Avoid blood thinners: You might be asked to discontinue taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or some supplements because they may promote bleeding.
    Wear loose clothing: Wear loose and breathable undergarments and clothes to prevent friction following the procedure.

Following the process of removing vaginal skin tags, it is expected to feel some mild pain or tenderness in the affected area and some minor swelling. A little bit of bleeding or spotting is possible during the first 24 hours, and a small scab may develop as the skin renews itself. The area should be kept clean and dry, and only a mild soap should be used; also, the area should not be covered by tight clothes or other harsh products that can lead to irritation. The majority of individuals recover within a short period. However, one should watch out for any unusual symptoms such as excessive pain, pus, bad smell, or fever. Consult a doctor in case of their appearance. Follow-up appointments can be necessary, particularly when stitches have been used.

The post-removal care after the vaginal skin tag removal should be taken seriously; one should observe proper hygiene, wear clothes that fit comfortably, and look after the area to ensure there are no changes. It is easier and you are more confident to get back to your usual routine. The follow-up visits can be advised to check whether it is healing properly, and in case of any unusual sight, contact your physician. Above all, now you will be able to experience enhanced levels of comfort, hygiene, and confidence in your everyday life.

Why have vaginal skin tag removal?
Enhanced Comfort & Confidence
Regaining Confidence

The elimination of skin tags will make you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin, whether in intimate situations or in the process of taking care of yourself.

Relieving Physical Stress
How does vaginal skin tag removal help women?
  • Eases discomfort

    Skin tags on intimate places may rub against clothes or during body movement, resulting in irritation, itching, or pain. Their removal is a relief and comfortable.

  • Improves hygiene

    Skin tags may increase difficulty in cleaning, especially in folds. Removal helps you to keep yourself much cleaner and reduces the chances of infection.

  • Reduces friction during intimacy

    Skin tags may also tug or irritate during sexual intercourse. The process of removal can make the experience smoother and more comfortable.

  • Minimise odour and moisture buildup

    Removing skin tags can also help minimise excessive odours caused by sweat and bacterial accumulation in folds of skin.

Professional Peace Of Mind
Peace of Mind

The Risks
Can a risk be prevented?

Vaginal skin tag is mostly a safe practice particularly when the practitioner is qualified and trusted. Nevertheless, it also comes with possible risks like any other cosmetic procedure,

  • Pain or discomfort: Mild pain or stinging during and after the procedure, which can be treated with local anaesthesia and over-the-counter pain relievers.
  • Bleeding: During or after removal, a lesser amount of bleeding can take place, more so when the tag is big or in a sensitive place.
  • Infection: Infection is possible, though uncommon, when the area is not clean or when improper aftercare is not provided.
  • Scarring: Some slight scarring may occur, especially when the tag is huge or when the skin has poor healing qualities.
  • Skin discolouration: There may be temporary or permanent changes in skin colour (lighter or darker) on the part of the skin that is treated.
  • Recurrence: Although the skin tag that has been removed will not come back, new ones may appear with time.
  • Allergic reaction: An uncommon allergic response to local anaesthetics or topical ointments can take place.
