Skin tags and growths are common but can be removed safely in-office. Brooke Cahill, PA-C, offers professional procedures like cryotherapy, electrocautery, and excision for safe, precise, and minimally invasive removal with minimal downtime.

Skin tags and benign growths are common and usually harmless, but they can be bothersome or unsightly. At MDCS Dermatology, Brooke Cahill, PA-C provides safe, effective in-office removal options to help patients feel comfortable in their skin.

Why Skin Tags Appear
Skin tags are small, soft growths that often appear in areas where skin rubs together, such as:

  • Neck and underarms

  • Eyelids

  • Groin and under the breasts

  • Around the waist or back

They can develop due to friction, genetics, or hormonal changes, and while harmless, many patients seek removal for cosmetic or comfort reasons.

Safe Removal Options at MDCS Dermatology
Dr. Brooke Cahill, PA-C, offers professional in-office procedures that are quick, minimally invasive, and designed for patient comfort:

  1. Cryotherapy: Freezing skin tags to remove them safely.

  2. Electrocautery: Using heat to excise or burn off growths.

  3. Excision: Small surgical removal for larger or stubborn tags.

All procedures are performed under sterile conditions, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.

Benefits of Professional Removal

  • Safety: Reduces risk of infection or scarring.

  • Precision: Targets only the growth without damaging surrounding skin.

  • Peace of Mind: Ensures proper evaluation in case a growth requires further testing.

Professional care is recommended over at-home removal methods, which can lead to bleeding, infection, or scarring.
