Excilor for a skin tag

A skin tag is usually a soft, flesh-coloured growth that may hang from a narrow stalk, often where skin rubs against skin or clothing. A mole, wart, cyst, or another lesion can look similar, and a changing or bleeding growth should not be assumed to be a skin tag. Products intended for other lesions may irritate healthy skin, cause bleeding, or delay the right diagnosis. The safest choice depends on the growth's appearance, location, size, symptoms, and whether it has changed.

Do not cut, tie off, burn, or repeatedly apply an over-the-counter product to an unconfirmed growth. Arrange an assessment if the diagnosis is uncertain, especially for a lesion near the eye, genitals, or another sensitive area. If removal is appropriate, a clinician may discuss skin tag removal, cryotherapy, or electrosurgery. Follow wound-care instructions and avoid picking at a healing site.

Seek prompt assessment for rapid change, persistent bleeding, ulceration, marked pain, colour variation, or a growth that does not resemble your other skin tags. Get help for spreading redness, pus, fever, or worsening pain after any attempted treatment, as these can indicate infection or skin injury.

Ask whether the growth is clinically consistent with a skin tag, whether Excilor is suitable for that exact lesion, and which removal method fits its site. Ask how to protect nearby skin and what changes should trigger review.
