Hey! My daughter is fifteen years old, she is having skin tags on her face and some other body parts. Earlier I thought it is fine and I had never been conscious of it. Now I started noticing that these skin tags are making a negative influence on my daughter’s personality and social well-being. She is not at all interested in hanging out with her friends and shows no interest in family parties too. One day I asked her about it and she said: “I really don’t feel comfortable when people start staring at my skin tags mamma”. I started searching for some solution and heard about cosmetic surgical procedure to remove skin tags. I am planning to have an appointment with a surgeon. But I don’t know whether she could handle a surgery at this age or not. What do you people think? Whether I have to wait till she turns eighteen or shall I proceed with it now? Please share your views if anyone had a similar situation like me.

To remove skin tags is a minor procedure, you can do it now if she's self conscious about them,plus the smaller the skin tags are the easier it is to remove,rather than wait because it do grow

You can always ask her.

Definitely ask her if she wants to remove them. Usually they can remove skin tags in a general family doctors office. The only thing is it does leave scars. If I had the option to remove what made me uncomfortable because of other kids at that age I would have a much better experience in school

I remember being around t years old and had a small one removed on my eyelid or close to it and it wasn't that bad. the pain was a quick sting and I didntveven cry. I'm pretty sure she will be ok. remove them so she feels normal.

I had a few on my neck when I was younger. as a teenage they started to bother me and I became super self conscious of them. I actually removed them by myself and it was fairly painless. I wouldn't recommend self removal because of the obvious but I was young and determined. with proper removal there should be little pain. I belive they just number the area and snip it off. no big deal.

I don't know how safe this is tbh but all my life my mum has tied string really tightly around mine and covered it with a plaster. The lack of blood basically makes it die and it just falls off.
