Skin Tag Removal at Plum Health DPC

Skin tag on the bra line - ouch! And irritating 😠

Many women have skin tags along the bra line and many men have skin tags on the belt line that get irritated 😤 when taking off and putting on clothing

Sometimes they can bleed 🩸 and sometimes they can be painful. Overall, it’s just a nuisance.

At our Plum Health clinic, removing skin tags like this takes less than 20 minutes. ⏰

We use a a small amount of lidocaine with epinephrine to numb the area and limit bleeding 💉 and then we use a dermablade to remove the lesion

That skin tag is then sent to pathology to rule out cancer - this tissue was found to be benign, a seborrheic keratosis 🔬

Pathology costs are $75 per sample and sometimes covered by insurance. 💵

If you’re living with an annoying skin tag, schedule an appointment with us this week to get it removed 💯
