Expert Skin Tag Removal in Newcastle
If you’re looking for cyst removal, our accredited plastic surgeons are able to provide you with sound advice and excellent operating skills.
Cyst removal is a straightforward surgical procedure that can be carried out on the scalp, head, face or anywhere on the body. The procedure is performed while you are awake using local anaesthetic injections.
Cyst removal generally takes between 20 to 45 minutes. We always advise booking a consultation with our plastic surgeons prior to any cyst removal procedure.

What Skin Tags Look Like
What to Look For
They can look like warts, but skin tags are usually:
- Smooth and Soft - Warts tend to be rougher with an irregular surface
- Knobbly and Hang Off - Warts are usually slightly raised or flat
- Not Contagious - Warts spread very easily, so a sudden outbreak is more likely to be warts
Skin tags do not usually cause any pain or discomfort.
Should I Be Worried About Skin Tags?
There’s no need to worry—skin tags aren’t a sign of a more serious health issue. It’s a benign skin condition that affects millions of people every year.
These tiny skin growths are often found in “folds” of the skin, or areas where skin frequently rubs against itself.
Benign & Harmless
Skin tags are completely benign growths that contain collagen and blood vessels. They don’t require any treatment unless they cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns.
Skin Tag RemovalFAQ's
What causes skin tags to appear?
Skin tags occur when extra cells grow in the top layers of the skin. They tend to develop when the skin rubs against itself, so are more common in people who are overweight and therefore have folds of skin. They grow both in men and women and are more common in older people and people living with type 2 diabetes.
Should skin tags be removed?
When should you remove a skin tag? A skin tag that’s infected or inflamed should come off. Otherwise, you don’t need to remove it unless you don’t like the way it looks or it’s getting caught in your clothes or jewelry and irritating you.
Do skin tags grow back?
Will Skin Tags Grow Back After Being Removed? Skin tags do not grow back after removal. If you develop other skin tags in the same place after removal, you may just be prone to having them in that area.
Why shouldn't I remove skin tags myself?
It could lead to bleeding, infection or irritation. Cutting off a skin tag with scissors yourself can lead to infection or uncontrollable bleeding, which may require a trip to the ER. (You’d be surprised at how much a large skin tag can bleed if not cauterized or frozen by a professional.) It can also hurt — a lot.
What is the fastest way to get rid of skin tags?
A healthcare provider can remove a skin tag quickly and safely, using laser therapy, cryotherapy, or a medical-grade blade. The area can be numbed beforehand so you don’t feel the procedure.
