What should you know about skin tag on face under eye?

A typical skin tag is a soft, flesh-coloured growth that can project from the skin. The under-eye area is thin and easily irritated, so dryness, rubbing, cosmetics, or spectacles may make a small growth more noticeable. A dark, hard, ulcerated, persistently bleeding, or fast-changing mark should not be labelled a skin tag without an examination.

Leave the growth alone and avoid scissors, dental floss, acids, and over-the-counter wart treatments. Remove eye makeup gently and stop any product that stings. A dermatologist can assess the lesion and explain Skin Tag Removal, Cryotherapy (Lesion Removal), or Electrosurgery if one of these is suitable for the location.

Book a review if it repeatedly catches, becomes tender, crusted, or bleeds, or if you cannot tell whether it is growing. Get urgent help for new vision changes, severe eye pain, pronounced swelling, or redness spreading around the eye.

Ask what features support the diagnosis, how close the lesion is to the lower eyelid or tear drainage area, what discomfort to expect, and which aftercare products are safe near the eye.
