WART REMOVAL Norfolk

When you arrive at our Norfolk Wart Removal Clinic, you will have your tag or tags clinically assessed by one of our nurses in the clinician team. Almost all tags are suitable for removal. Following assessment, you will have nitrous oxide applied to the area through a pen-like precision tool. Nitrous oxide is also known as N20 and it is very cold. Used to freeze the stalk of the skin tag, this will stop the blood flowing to the skin tag which effectively kills it.

While the pen-like tool will not penetrate your skin, you may feel a sensation which is similar to the feeling of a ballpoint pen nib touching your skin. When applying the nitrous oxide to the site of the skin tag, the nurse might find that they need to make a second application of the device and the nitrous oxide. This will depend on the size of the skin tag. Although most tags can be effectively dealt with in only one treatment, it may be that larger skin tags need further treatment within a second session.

Following the nitrous oxide procedure, you might feel a tingling in the treatment area. While it is not a painful treatment, you might find that you experience a gentle stinging throughout the remainder of the day.

After the cryotherapy, you will notice that the skin tag starts to change colour, becoming darker. You will also notice that it starts to dry out and become crustier as time passes. This is a good sign which indicates that the skin tag is dying. Within days, the tag will just fall off itself. While you may notice a small mark where the skin tag has left your skin, this will go away in time. When this has healed, you will be able to apply skin care as normal to the area.

You may have questions or queries about the treatment. Please do get in touch with our nurse-led Norfolk Skin Tag Removal Clinic team, who will be happy to help.

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.
