Location, size, and method of removal are all factors that can affect your recovery time. Skin tags on exposed areas like the face or neck may take longer to heal, while larger skin tags or those removed surgically may require a few days to a week of recovery time. Our team is dedicated to ensuring a positive experience, from the initial consultation to your post-procedure recovery. We'll offer helpful tips for a quick recovery, such as keeping the wound clean and dry, avoiding touching or picking at the area, and using over-the-counter pain medication as needed. We also recommend that you seek medical attention promptly if you experience excessive pain or swelling, bleeding, signs of infection, or if the wound is not healing properly. While the physical recovery from skin tag removal is generally fast, it's important to note that the underlying cause of skin tags may require ongoing management. The team at Mullally Sports and Family Medicine is here to provide comprehensive care, including discussing preventative measures with you.
