Brief Answer:
Electrodessication is the treatment of choice

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.

I understand your query and concern

Skin tags have excellent management options.

I have gone through your uploaded image and you seem to have small pedunculated skin tags.

These can be treated well through TWO MAJOR procedures.

1.Aluminium chloride pain with electrodessication.
2.Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy.

Both these procedures are equally effective ,the choice depends on the physician.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
