Does anyone know of a dermatologist that will just do skin tag removals? I don’t want to be pressured into having a body scan, biopsy, etc. thanks in advance

No, afraid not. Not really sure I understand the question..... have you been to many doctors that make you do things that you don't want to do? We go to the dermatologist every year. He recommends a head to toe look see and we get it. Looks from the scalp to between the toes. No pressure at all. I don't think there is a doctor who would not recommend a biopsy of any tissue that is being removed. With that being said, I don't think skin tags are in that group. Another thing is I'm not sure if Insurance covers skin tags. These are all questions for a doctor but I sure one of our MANY experts will chime in. Good luck.

Alliant Dermatology does a really great job. I had skin tags removed, no problem. But they also wanted to run a biopsy on a spot on my arm and I did indeed have skin cancer, and they took care of that too. The only dermatologist I'll visit.

Alliant Dermatology has a separate price list for liquid nitrogen removal of skin tags and other cosmetic lesions that is an out-of-pocket (no insurance) procedure and it is very reasonable. It can be done by an MD or one of the PA's in the office.

Elimi Tag skin tag remover from CVS. Works great, try it before spending big bucks at a dermatologist.

My GP removed my skin tags during a regular check up. You might want to start there.

MacInnis Dermatology at Laurel Manor is the best! She takes the time to fully explain everything, and does not do unnecessary tests. Highly knowledgeable in her field.

I always tell them to freeze anything off (including skin tags) and if it comes back I will go in for a biopsy. I always insist on them not cutting into me. Quite a while ago I went to Village Dermatology and the tech cut off 8 spots that she thought needed biopsy. None of them came back cancerous.

There are products you can buy on the internet that remove skin tags. I’ve used them a few times and they work well.

Don’t agree with this one. Went there for spot on my nose. She said it was a blood vessel close to the surface. When I got home I went to my dr. It was cancer. Ended up with 2 surgeries, lost a part of my nose. I will never go to her again. Sorry. That’s my experience.
