Understanding Moles and Skin Tags

Not sure what’s on your skin? Let’s know the difference between moles and skin tags.

Moles (nevi) are clusters of pigmented skin cells that often appear during childhood or adolescence. While most are benign, some may evolve and require medical attention. On the other hand, skin tags (acrochordons) are small, soft, skin-colored growths typically found on the neck, armpits, eyelids, and groin. They are painless but can become irritating when rubbed or snagged.

Both conditions are common—and fortunately, both are treatable through safe, medical-grade procedures.

How Are Moles Treated?

Thinking about mole removal? Here’s how we do it safely and effectively.

Treating moles is all about precision, safety, and leaving your skin looking its best. At Skin Vibes Clinic, we evaluate each mole individually before choosing the right approach for mole removal —because no two moles (or skin types) are exactly the same.

  • Shave Excision

    This is a go-to option for raised moles that don’t go too deep. Our skin specialist gently shaves off the mole’s surface under local anesthesia, and the area heals with minimal scarring.

  • Surgical Excision

    We perform a complete excision for deeper moles or those that need testing. A small border of skin is also removed to ensure the mole is gone entirely, and a few tiny stitches may be used.

  • Laser Removal

    If the mole is flat and pigmented, laser treatment is often the most effective. Using light energy, we target and break down mole cells without any cutting—making it perfect for sensitive or visible areas.

No matter which method we use for mole removal, your comfort and results are always our priority.

How Are Skin Tags Treated?

Do you have those tiny, pesky skin tags? Here’s how we take care of them.

When done by professionals, skin tag removal is simple, fast, and almost painless. At Skin Vibes Clinic, we offer several highly effective options for skin tag removal, depending on your skin type and the tag’s location.

  • Cryotherapy

    This method freezes the tag using liquid nitrogen. The frozen tissue naturally falls off within a few days, with minimal aftercare needed.

  • Electrocautery

    Electrocautery is a surgical technique that uses electrical current to cut tissue or stop bleeding by coagulating blood vessels.

  • Snip Excision

    The tag is carefully clipped off under local anesthesia using sterilized surgical scissors. It’s over in minutes and leaves barely a mark.

  • Laser Removal

    Laser removal is best for cosmetic areas like the face or neck. It’s bloodless and precise, making it a go-to option for those wanting clean results with minimal downtime.

  • Our experienced skin doctor performs all procedures, ensuring comfort and the smoothest possible outcome.

Post-Treatment Care

Just had your treatment done? Here’s how to care for your skin while it heals.

Once your mole or skin tag has been removed, a little aftercare goes a long way in helping your skin heal smoothly. At Skin Vibes, one of the best skin clinics , we ensure you leave with a simple, customized care plan that keeps things easy and stress-free. Here’s what we usually recommend:

  • Keep it clean and dry: Gently wash the area with mild soap and pat dry—no scrubbing or harsh rubbing.
  • Use prescribed ointments: Doctor may recommend an antibiotic cream or healing gel to prevent infection and speed up recovery.
  • Avoid sun exposure: Direct sunlight can darken the healing skin, so cover the area or apply sunscreen if it’s exposed.
  • Don’t pick or scratch: Let scabs fall off naturally—interfering can cause scarring.
  • Follow-up if needed: If your procedure involves stitches or further monitoring, we’ll schedule a follow-up to check on your healing.

And don’t worry—if you ever have questions during your recovery, our skin specialist is just a call away.
