About

What are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are small flesh-coloured or brown growths that hang off the skin and look a bit like warts.

They are very common.

Skin tags are usually a few millimetres in size, although can be as big as 5cm and are usually found on the neck, in the armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. They can also grow on the eyelids or under the folds of the buttocks. The medical name for skin tags is acrochordons.

Dr Kathryn uses a local anaesthetic injection to numb the area, removes the lump, and stops the bleeding using electrocautery. This is highly effective in stopping bleeding and destroying the blood vessel which is necessary to help stop the lump from growing back. A small scab will develop and it can take up to 10 days to fully heal.

The process

Consultation, assessment, and expert medical evaluation

Begin your journey to clearer skin with Dr. Kathryn’s comprehensive approach. Initially, we invite potential patients to email photos of their skin concerns, allowing Dr. Kathryn to preliminarily assess suitability for her advanced laser-assisted removal technique. Following this, you can book a complimentary 10-minute initial consultation via phone call, Facetime, or WhatsApp video. During this session, Dr. Kathryn, leveraging her extensive experience as a GP, conducts a detailed and methodical evaluation. Her expertise is not limited to cosmetic improvements; she has a track record of identifying serious conditions such as cancerous moles. This meticulous approach ensures not only the aesthetic enhancement of your skin but also prioritises your overall health, guaranteeing that any treatment undertaken is medically appropriate and safe.

Ideal Candidates

You may be an ideal candidate for skin tag or lump removal if you have benign skin growths that are causing discomfort, irritation, or affecting your confidence. Whether they appear on the neck, underarms, face, or body, these lesions can often become irritated by clothing or jewellery. Suitable for both men and women, this treatment is ideal for those seeking a safe, quick, and medically-led solution.

What to Expect Post-Treatment

Following skin tag or lump removal, you may experience mild redness, sensitivity, or a small scab at the treatment site. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days to a week. It’s important to keep the area clean and avoid picking or scratching to allow for proper healing. Dr Kathryn will provide tailored aftercare advice to minimise any risk of scarring and ensure optimal results. Most clients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Client Testimonials

Our clients at Real You Clinic have seen transformative results from Dr Kathryns Lump & Bump removal. One client said, “The procedure was painless and very targeted and was over very quickly”

Before After

Dr Kathryn Taylor Barnes reviewed the condition of many tags and blemishes on my face and upper body and recommended their removal.

Each area was anaesthetised and the tags/blemishes ‘burnt off’. The procedure was painless and very targeted and was over very quickly.  The post procedure care was a combination of hydrocortisone and antiseptic creams applied regularly.

As a person of colour I await to see how the residual healing process will tone into my own skin colour. Overall though a very successful outcome and very professionally executed.
