Skin Tag Removal in Melaka
Skin Tags
Skin tags may be harmless, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them. Whether they’re bothering you for cosmetic reasons or catching on clothing, professional skin tag removal is a simple solution that can help restore your comfort and confidence.
At Klinik Liysha, we offer safe, doctor-performed skin tag removal in a clean clinical setting.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are soft, flesh-colored growths that hang off the skin. They’re usually found in areas where skin rubs together—like the neck, eyelids, underarms, groin, or under the breasts. Although they are non-cancerous and generally painless, they can become irritated or inflamed, especially if rubbed or scratched.
Most people develop them over time, especially those who are:
- Over 40 years old
- Overweight
- Living with diabetes or insulin resistance
- Pregnant (due to hormonal changes)
- Prone to friction or skin chafing
Why Remove a Skin Tag?
While skin tags are medically benign, there are a few reasons you might want to have them removed:
- Aesthetic concerns – especially if located on the face, neck, or chest
- Irritation from clothing or jewelry
- Bleeding or snagging
- Peace of mind – to rule out other types of skin growths
At Klinik Liysha, a qualified doctor will assess the skin tag to ensure it’s safe to remove and not something more serious like a mole or wart.
Commonly Affected Areas
Neck
A common spot for skin tags due to frequent friction from clothing, collars, or jewelry. They’re often more noticeable here, especially if they grow in clusters.
Eyelids
Skin tags around the eyes can be small and interfere with blinking or vision. Because the area is sensitive, removal should be done carefully.
Underarms
The constant rubbing of skin and movement makes underarms a prime area for skin tags. They may also be irritated by shaving or deodorant.
Chest/Breasts
Often seen beneath the breasts or along the bra line, especially in women. Friction from tight clothing or sweat buildup can contribute to their development.
Groin Areas
Skin tags can form in the folds of the groin where skin rubs together. These may go unnoticed at first but can become uncomfortable with movement.
Removal Options for Skin Tags
We use clinically approved techniques to remove skin tags with minimal discomfort and a quick recovery. The method used will depend on the size, location, and number of skin tags you have.
Electrocautery
This method uses a small probe to burn off the skin tag with controlled heat. It’s quick and effective, often requiring only one session.
Cryotherapy
Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze off the tag. It will dry up and fall off naturally in a few days.The area will heal, and new skin will form in its place.
Snip Excision
A simple procedure using sterile scissors under local anesthetic. This is often used for larger skin tags.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Consultation: Our priority is to confirm that the growth is indeed a skin tag and not another skin condition that may require different management (like a mole, wart, or seborrheic keratosis). The doctor will examine the size, shape, and location of the skin tag(s).
Removal Procedure: Once you’re ready, the removal procedure is carried out on the same day in most cases. We use one of the options depending on what’s safest and most effective for your skin type and tag size. The process typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Post-Removal Care: After your procedure, we’ll walk you through simple aftercare instructions. Healing times vary depending on the method used and the size of the tag, but most people notice full recovery in 7–10 days, with minimal scarring.

FAQ on Skin Tag Removal
Frequently Asked Questions
Most removal methods cause minimal discomfort. We often use local anesthetic or numbing techniques to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible, especially if you have skin tags in sensitive areas like the neck or armpit.
Most can, but larger numbers or sensitive locations may require staged treatments for best results.
Once properly removed, the same skin tag does not grow back. However, new skin tags can develop elsewhere over time.
When done correctly, scarring is minimal. Some redness or small marks may appear but usually fade with time.
