Perianal Skin Tag Removal FAQ
No, the procedure itself is not painful as it is performed under local anaesthetic, which numbs the area completely. You might feel slight pressure or movement during the removal, but no pain. After the anaesthetic wears off, you may experience mild soreness or discomfort for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol. Most patients find the discomfort minimal and short-lived.
Scarring is generally minimal because the removal is done with precision to ensure the best cosmetic outcome. The area may appear slightly pink or raised initially, but this typically fades over time. Following aftercare instructions, such as keeping the area clean and avoiding unnecessary irritation, can help promote optimal healing and reduce the likelihood of noticeable scarring.
The procedure is relatively quick, usually lasting between 15–30 minutes. It is done as a walk-in, walk-out treatment, meaning you can go home the same day. You may need to stay at the clinic for a short observation period to ensure there are no immediate complications, but most patients are back to their daily routine within a day or two.
Once removed, the same skin tag will not return. However, new skin tags can develop over time due to factors such as friction, skin irritation, or hormonal changes. If you are prone to skin tags, maintaining good hygiene and avoiding excessive irritation in the area can help reduce the chances of new ones forming. If needed, future removals can be easily performed.
Most people can resume normal activities within 1–2 days. However, it is recommended to avoid heavy exercise, strenuous activities, and prolonged sitting for the first few days to reduce swelling and discomfort. Keeping the area clean and dry is essential for proper healing. If your job involves a lot of movement or sitting, you may want to take a short break or work from home if possible.
