Get Advice About Moles or Skin Tags

If you have a mole or skin tag that is causing irritation or concern, our team can assess the lesion and discuss the most appropriate options for your skin.

What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are small, soft growths that often appear where skin rubs against skin or clothing.

They are usually:

  • Flesh coloured or slightly darker
  • Small and soft to the touch
  • Attached to the skin by a thin stalk

Skin tags commonly develop on areas such as:

  • Neck
  • Underarms
  • Eyelids
  • Chest
  • Under the breasts

Although they are harmless, many people choose to remove them because they catch on jewellery or clothing or become irritated during shaving.

What Are Moles?

Moles are small clusters of pigmented skin cells that appear as brown or darker spots on the skin.

Most adults have several moles, and they can develop during childhood or later in life.

Moles can vary in:

  • Colour
  • Size
  • Shape
  • Texture

In most cases they are completely harmless. However, it is important to monitor any mole for changes over time.

According to the NHS, changes in size, colour or shape should always be checked by a medical professional.

Other Benign Skin Lesions

At our St Ives clinic we also see clients concerned about other harmless skin growths.

These may include:

Seborrhoeic Keratosis

A common benign condition that appears as slightly raised brown or black patches on the skin. These lesions often develop with age and may resemble a waxy or textured surface.

Benign Skin Blemishes

Small irregularities or growths that may appear on the face or body.

Although these lesions are generally harmless, some people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons or comfort.

When Should You Seek Advice About a Mole or Skin Tag?

Most moles and skin tags are harmless, but it is always sensible to seek professional advice if you notice:

  • Rapid changes in size or colour
  • Irregular or uneven borders
  • Bleeding or persistent irritation
  • Sudden appearance of a new lesion

If any of these warning signs are present, medical evaluation is important.

At Tweaks Aesthetics, we prioritise safety. If our practitioners have any concern about a lesion, we may advise you to consult your GP before any cosmetic treatment is considered.

Cosmetic Concerns and Removal Options

Many clients visit our St Ives clinic because a benign skin lesion is affecting their comfort or confidence.

Common reasons people seek treatment include:

  • Skin tags catching on clothing or jewellery
  • Cosmetic moles in visible areas such as the face or neck
  • Lesions that rub or become irritated
  • Blemishes that have gradually increased in size

When a lesion is confirmed to be benign and suitable for cosmetic treatment, removal may be possible.

How Benign Skin Lesions Are Treated

At Tweaks Aesthetics, suitable lesions may be treated using electrocautery, a precise technique that removes unwanted tissue using controlled heat.

The procedure works by applying a heated electrode to the targeted lesion. The heat destroys the abnormal tissue while helping to stop minor bleeding during the process.

It is important to understand that the heat removes the tissue, not an electric current passing through the body.

Electrocautery is commonly used in dermatology to treat:

  • Skin tags
  • Seborrhoeic keratosis
  • Small benign moles
  • Minor cosmetic blemishes

More information about dermatological procedures can be found through the British Association of Dermatologists.

Safety and Medical Referral

Your health and safety are always the priority.

Before any treatment, we carry out a careful assessment of the lesion. If there is any uncertainty about whether the blemish is benign, we may recommend that you consult your GP or dermatologist first.

In some cases, we may require confirmation from a doctor before proceeding with cosmetic removal.

This ensures that any suspicious lesions receive appropriate medical evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moles and Skin Tags

Are skin tags dangerous?

Skin tags are usually harmless and very common. However, any unusual changes should always be assessed by a medical professional.

Skin tags often develop in areas where skin rubs together. They are more common with age and may also be linked to genetics or skin friction.

Some benign moles can be removed for cosmetic reasons. However, any suspicious mole must be assessed by a doctor before removal.

It is strongly recommended that removal is carried out by trained professionals. Attempting to remove lesions at home can lead to infection, scarring or misdiagnosis.
