Question 1

can i remove angiokerotomas on my scrotum with a laser skin tag removal tool at home? is there something made that i can use at home to treat them? my doctor said they could remove them in his office but i would rather take care of myself at home?

Accepted Answer

: That is a very bad idea. The methods to treat can cause harm to normal skin  and are only available by prescription or  carried out by a doc trained and skilled in the procedure. Pl go to a Urologist for safe treatment. Wish you well

Question 2

can you get skin tags on your scrotum?? or could it be a small wart?

Accepted Answer

: Skin tags can occur anywhere on the body, including scrotum. Genital warts rarely are single; usually there are at least a few. But no way to say more about your situation; see a health professional. Good luck.

Question 3

can i remove a skin tag at home? its just under my scrotum , when i sweat it gets irritated by the shafing of my skin.

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: What you think is a skin tag may be something else and it is not feasible to give you meaningful advice without examining you. It is likely that by self-treatment you will damage the skin of your scrotum and make matters worse. It would be prudent to see a doctor.

Question 4

i noticed that sometime recently i have had 2 mole like skin tags popup in the area between my leg and my scrotum!  and yes they have gottin bigger!!

Accepted Answer

Cut them off: Moles should not be growing or changing in size, especially at your age. Moles that change have got to go.

Question 5

i have a skin tag on my scrotum its skin color or a little white is that something to worry about is it possible for a skin tag to be there and can it be something big like cancer is it safe to watch it and if it does not grow then leave it alone?

Accepted Answer

: It is possible for a skin tag to be present on location only and among other conditions. Have your pediatrician examine it during your annual exam for peace of mind.

Question 6

hi,i have a small  smooth skin coloured growth at the top of my anus before my scrotum. it is soft and smooth and not cauliflowered. it's not painful but it's noticeable, causing discomfort. is this likely to be a genital wart or a skin tag?

Accepted Answer

Sentinel skin tag: A sentinel skin tag is usually results from a fissure or tear of the anal tissue following passage of a large constipated stool.  The tag itself is not painful, but the fissure can be uncomfortable both with passing stool and at rest, just like any other cut of the skin.  
Increasing fluids and fiber in the diet is usually recommended to help in healing but the skin tag remains.

Question 7

how do i treat skin tags ?

Accepted Answer

Skin tags: Skin tags should be seen by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who will discuss options on how to get rid of them.

Question 8

can skin tags be dangerous?

Accepted Answer

No: Skin tags are benign, noncancerous growths that typically grow in folds of the body (neck, underarm, groin, under the breast).  They are not dangerous but can get rubbed and irritated.  If you are concerned about a growth on your body, you should see a dermatologist to make sure it is indeed a skin tag.  Sometimes other growths such as skin cancer can look like skin tags.

Question 9

how can i remove skin tags?

Accepted Answer

In all honesty...: ...I discourage people from doing this because of risk of bleeding, infections and scarring. That said, if you're going to do it anyway, clean the skin and a very sharp pair of small nail scissors with alcohol, and snip them off. Big ones can bleed quite a lot, so let your doc do those. An old folk remedy is to tie thread around them, but that seldom works. Otc "paint on" products are worthless.

Question 10

what causes skin tags to suddenly appear?

Accepted Answer

Skin tags: Skin tags (acrochordons) are benign skin growths that are somewhat familial (genetic) and tend to occur in skin folds. We see more as people age and, naturally, in overweight people because of the skin folds. Problematic ones are treated with simple excision under local anesthesia.
