Carindale skin tag removal, done in our procedure room.
Skin tag removal in Carindale is a quick procedure done onsite by our GPs, close to home at Westfield Carindale. The same GPs also handle lesion removal and ingrown toenails if you need more done.
Skin tags on the neck, armpits and groin
Skin tags tend to form where skin rubs against skin or clothing, which is why the neck, armpits, groin and under the breasts are common spots. Some people develop many skin tags over time. They’re more common with age, during pregnancy and in people with higher body weight or type 2 diabetes.
At Carindale Doctors, we can remove several skin tags in one visit in our procedure room, using snipping, freezing or cautery depending on size. If you’ve noticed lots of new skin tags, your GP may also suggest a simple blood test to check your blood sugar, as skin tags can be linked with insulin resistance.
In short: Carindale Doctors removes skin tags from the neck, armpits, groin and other areas in our procedure room inside Westfield Carindale, often several in one visit. Your GP may check blood sugar if you have many new tags. Cosmetic removal doesn’t attract a Medicare rebate.
