Hello Interloper!

As they are considered a cosmetic issue, there is very little removal of skin tags now offered on the NHS; so private clinics are seeing more and more patients who wish to arrange skin tag removal.
Will It Leave a Scar?
Any skin tag removal procedure is likely to leave some form of scar as the skin is broken and must heal itself.
However, after initial redness, this does fade until most patients have to look hard to see it. Any scarring is generally preferable, in the long term, to the presence of the skin tag itself.
