After removing a mole, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions for skin care and preventing infection. Keep the area clean and dry, and apply prescribed antibiotic ointments if necessary. Avoid scratching or rubbing the treated area and protect your skin from the sun, as the new skin may be more sensitive to sunlight and prone to pigmentation.

When to see a specialist?

Although skin tags are benign, it’s important to see a dermatologist if you notice changes in their appearance, such as rapid growth, bleeding, pain, or changes in color. These symptoms may indicate that the skin tag is not a simple skin tag and that further evaluation is necessary.

In conclusion, skin tags on the neck and underarms are common and generally harmless, but if you want to remove them, there are several options available. Always seek the advice of a specialist before attempting any at-home treatment, and opt for professional methods to ensure a safe and effective procedure.
