They are generally not cancerous and they are not contagious. S o why remove them? Because they may your skin look older. Also, removal prevents trauma...if they are gone they can’t get snagged by clothing, jewelry, pets, seat belts, etc. and bleed on your clothes. The 3 best ways to remove them are: freezing, cautery or scissors/scalpel. Small tags are removed easily and comfortably but depending on patient preference, anesthesia can be used. Don’t waste your time on creams and home remedies. Get skin tags checked and removed once a year for best appearance and peace of mind. Just circle them with a felt-tip pen at home when you get out of the shower and let us take a look.

For most of you, it’s been a while since you had a peel so it’s the perfect time to get reacquainted with them. The best regimen is often to do a series of them, perhaps one every 3 to 4 months. Peels compare favorable to lasers for results on mild to moderate damage from age and sun, often with less downtime and risk. Their convenience and adjustability have brought them to the foreground in cosmetic dermatology once again, which is why physician organizations that focus solely on the merits of peels are emerging nationwide. For 40+ patients with crow’s feet, fine lines, dullness, splotchiness and sun-related damage, peels are great. Busy patients may find the hiding period for laser resurfacing hard to fit in. So, opt for a series of peels instead, with little or no hiding. A mild intervention can stave off having to do a bigger repair. So the question is WHEN WAS YOUR LAST PEEL?
