WART REMOVAL Lincolnshire

Every skin tag at the Lincolnshire Wart Removal Clinic will be clinically assessed by one of our nursing team before treatment commences. Most tags are suitable for removal; our nurse will advise upon assessment. Following assessment, our nurse will apply nitrous oxide to the treatment area. To do this, they will use a precision tool that looks like a pen. Nitrous oxide is known as N20 and is very cold. Used to freeze the skin tag’s stalk, it stops the flow of blood to the skin tag and kills it.

The skin is not pierced by the pen during treatment, but you may feel as if the nib of a ballpoint pen is touching your skin during application. Once the first dose of nitrous oxide has been applied, your nurse may decide to apply the device again within the same treatment. This will depend on the size of the skin tag. While most skin tags can be effectively treated in one session, very large skin tags might need additional treatment in a second session.

After the procedure, you may feel a tingling sensation in the treatment area. Although not painful, you might feel a slight stinging in the hours after treatment.

Following cryotherapy treatment, you will notice that your skin tag changes colour, getting darker in the days after the session. You’ll also feel the tag drying out and becoming crusty. This means that the skin tag is dying. Within days, the dried-up tag will totally fall off. You may see a small mark where the skin tag had been attached, but this will disappear in time. When the area has healed, you can resume your skin care routine as normal.

Skin tag removal is a safe and simple procedure that is undertaken here, at our Clinic, by our nurse-led team of clinicians.

Some people are more prone to skin tags than others, however it is not clear why this might be the case. You may opt to have more than one skin tag removed at a time. Skin tags may sometimes look like warts; however, they are neither contagious and they will not grow back once removed.

Our preferred option – and the most convenient for our clients – is to have skin tags removed via freezing. This process is known as cryotherapy. Skin tags can also be removed by cutting them off or burning them off, however at our clinic, we prefer to use cryotherapy.
