Skin Tags, small moles and Seborrheic Keratosis are all very common skin complaints that are no longer treated by the NHS.
A skin tag is a small, soft, flesh-coloured non-cancerous skin growth. Skin tags are probably the single most common skin condition on adult skin. Skin tags are harmless but can be annoying; they commonly occur on the eyelids, neck, armpits, groin folds, and under breasts and can be painful if they catch on zips, jewellery or clothes. There’s no need to put up with them though, skin tag removal doesn’t have to be complicated!
