Minor Surgery
For removal of skin tags, moles, small cysts or warts.
Skin tag can be removed depending on size, with electric or cryotherapy cautery (freezing with liquid nitrogen).
Electric cautery takes few minutes. Skin tag is injected with local anaesthetic and then cut with a hot wire in seconds. Major advantage is stitches/sutures are not required. Cut heals in 4-6 weeks, with normal skin.
Cryotherapy cautery uses liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is sprayed for about 10 seconds on to a skin tag or wart. There is a slight stinging sensation. Tag or wart will fall off after a week, leaving a scar that will fade in few weeks.
Usually treatment needs to be repeated several times at 2 weekly intervals.
Excision. Large skin tags, cysts or moles need to be cut out using a local anaesthetic and sutured. Skin sutures are normally removed about 7 days later.
