Skin Tag Removal
Banish that bump
This visit is for normal-looking skin tags
Our providers treat small, ordinary skin tags. Growths that are larger, or unusual in size, shape, or color, can need surgical removal instead, and some should be evaluated first to rule out anything more serious. In some cases a spot may still need surgical follow-up even after treatment here. If that applies to you, we will say so at your visit and point you to the right care.

Not sure what that spot is?
Most people who come in for a spot removal do not know what their spot is called, and that is completely fine. Here is what the most common ones look like in plain language. If yours is not on this list, or it has changed, our medical team will tell you what it is at your visit.

Milia
Small white or yellowish bumps that will not pop, most often under the eyes or on the cheeks.
Milia are tiny keratin cysts sitting just under the surface of the skin. They are harmless and very common, including in adults who have never had acne. Squeezing them at home does not work and can leave a mark, because there is no opening to press through. In clinic a provider releases them with a fine sterile instrument, or treats them with gentle freezing or cautery, and the choice is made when they can see the skin in person. Most people have several treated in a single visit.
Cherry angiomas
Small bright red dots, often slightly raised, that appear on the chest, arms, or back and tend to multiply with age.
Cherry angiomas are clusters of tiny blood vessels close to the surface. They are benign, they are not a sign of anything wrong, and they usually turn up in your thirties and keep appearing over time. They are treated in clinic with cautery or freezing, generally in one visit, and several can be handled in the same appointment. Because they involve blood vessels they can look darker or bruised briefly afterward before settling.
Age spots and sun spots
Flat brown or tan patches on the face, hands, chest, or shoulders that showed up after years of sun.
These are areas where pigment has collected in response to sun exposure. They are flat rather than raised, which is what separates them from most of the growths on this page, and they are treated differently as a result. Depending on how many you have and where they are, a provider may suggest a laser or peel treatment rather than freezing or cautery. That decision belongs at a visit, and it is a good reason to send a photo first so you are booked into the right appointment.
Dark raised bumps (DPN)
Small dark brown or black raised bumps, usually on the cheeks and temples, often running in families.
Dermatosis papulosa nigra is a common, benign condition that appears most often in deeper skin tones and frequently shows up in more than one generation of a family. The bumps are harmless, and treatment is cosmetic. Technique matters here more than usual, because the wrong approach on deeper skin can leave lighter or darker marks behind. Our providers treat these conservatively and often start with a small test area at the first visit before doing more.
Pricing is per spot and shown with the booking options above. Anything that looks unusual in size, shape, or color gets evaluated before it gets treated.
