Removing Skin Tags & Syringomas Yourself – What You Need to Know
Skin tags and syringomas are benign skin growths that can be particularly bothersome when they are visible or located on sensitive areas of the body. Learn here how they differ, where they typically occur, and how you can treat selected skin growths yourself at home.
What Are Skin Tags and Syringomas?
Soft, Mostly Pedunculated Skin Growths
Skin tags – also known as fibromas – are small, soft protrusions of the skin. They are often skin-colored to light brown and frequently occur where the skin rubs against itself or clothing.
Small, Skin-Colored to Yellowish Bumps
Syringomas are small, benign skin growths that often occur in clusters. They usually appear as smooth, firm bumps and are particularly common around the eyes or on the cheeks.
Where Do They Frequently Occur?
Skin Tags
- Neck and nape
- Armpits
- Under the breasts or along the bra line
- Groin
- Eyelids
Syringomas
- Under the eyes
- On the cheeks
- Around the eyelids
- Less commonly on the neck or upper body
Especially when visible, both skin tags and syringomas can be considered cosmetically bothersome.
Skin Tag or Syringoma – How Can You Tell the Difference?
Removing Skin Tags and Syringomas with a Doctor
Skin tags are often removed by cutting, tying off, freezing, or using laser treatment. For syringomas, depending on their appearance, laser or other dermatological procedures may be used. These methods can be effective, but they usually require an appointment and may involve higher costs depending on the method.
