Condition Overview
Skin tags
Skin tags are common, benign skin growths that appear as small, soft protrusions on the skin’s surface. While they can develop at any age, they are most prevalent in adults, particularly in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. These harmless growths can vary in size and may affect both appearance and comfort.
At Dermasurge, we specialize in the safe and effective removal of skin tags using advanced techniques. Dr. Hiba Injibar, a renowned dermatologist, combines her expertise with precise treatment methods to help patients achieve smooth, clear skin with minimal discomfort.
Symptoms
- Skin tags are small, soft, flesh-colored growths that hang off the skin by a thin stalk.
- They commonly appear on neck, armpits, eyelids, and other areas with skin folds or friction.
- Friction and rubbing from skin-on-skin contact or clothing are primary contributing factors.
- Hormonal changes during pregnancy or with certain medical conditions can increase development.
- Collagen and blood vessels trapped inside thicker skin form these benign growths.
- Size ranges from tiny (1mm) to larger (5mm+), with some growing as big as a grape.
causes
Skin tags develop when clusters of collagen and blood vessels become trapped inside thicker areas of skin. While generally harmless, understanding their formation helps in prevention and treatment.
Friction and Rubbing
Constant skin-on-skin friction or irritation from clothing causes the skin to overgrow in certain areas.
Hormonal Factors
Pregnancy hormones and conditions like diabetes can stimulate excess skin cell growth and tag formation.
Genetic Predisposition
Some individuals inherit a tendency to develop skin tags, often seeing them in similar locations as family members.
Age and Weight
Middle-aged adults and those with higher BMI are more prone due to increased skin folds and friction.
Professional Treatments
Cryotherapy freezes skin tags with liquid nitrogen, causing them to fall off within days without scarring.
Precision Cauterization uses controlled heat to remove tags instantly while sealing blood vessels to prevent bleeding.
Surgical Excision cleanly cuts away larger tags with sterile instruments for immediate removal in a single visit.
Laser Removal vaporizes tags with focused light energy, ideal for sensitive areas like eyelids with minimal discomfort.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!
I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.
Couldn’t Be More Happy
Really positive experience. Beautiful building, small but well maintained and laid out spaces. Friendly, welcoming and very professional reception staff. Efficient registration. The consultation was expert, careful and thorough. Treatment effective. Plus Dr Hiba is a warm and lovely person!
Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.
