skin tag removal Johor Bahru
Skin tag removal Johor Bahru starts by checking that it is a skin tag.
Skin tags are common benign growths that often appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin or areas of friction. They may catch on clothing or jewellery, bleed after shaving or become irritated. Warts, moles and other lesions can sometimes look similar.
Dr Kenneth Lee assesses the growth, symptoms, location, medication, bleeding risk and scar tendency. Removal may be considered for comfort or appearance, while painful, rapidly changing, bleeding or uncertain lesions may need another diagnostic pathway.
