Skin tags do not pose a threat to your health. However, we provide comprehensive dermatologic and cosmetic services if you want them removed.
Have you noticed tiny, flesh-colored flaps of tissue protruding from your neck, arms, chest, groin, or another area of your body? Don’t worry. These are skin tags and are not dangerous. As many as 25% of people develop this skin condition.
Dr. Madjar is polite, professional, and knowledgeable. She was thorough in her explanations about my daughter's skin concerns. The front office staff also has great customer service.
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Jax Dermatology has really impressed me with outstanding care by Michelle Madjar, APRN, who correctly diagnosed and cured a calf rash that had perplexed two other dermatologists for over a year. Mowing grass wearing shorts had triggered an allergic reaction. Could be the chemicals sprayed on my lawn. Evolved into a staph infection. No match for Michelle. I’m fine now. Also, making the office visits pleasant were front desk staff Samantha and Morgan, and Michelle’s assistant Vriksha. Friendly and efficient.

From the moment I arrived, Morgan and Sam were friendly, and welcoming. Additionally, Michelle took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explained my treatment options, and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit.
The office was clean, nice and cold, 🙂 well-organized, and the overall appointment process was smooth. I truly appreciate how attentive and knowledgeable the entire team was. The level of care and customer service exceeded my expectations.
Response from the owner:Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
While skin tags do not threaten your health, you may feel self-conscious about the appearance or texture of your skin. As a result, you may wonder what you can do to get rid of them.
If you want to remove your skin tags, do not attempt to remove them yourself. Home remedies and treatments can cause bleeding and serious infections. At Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, we provide comprehensive dermatologic and cosmetic services. We maintain the highest quality care in a warm and compassionate environment.
What are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are tiny flaps of flesh-colored skin that protrude from the skin. They can be found almost anyplace on the body, but they tend to occur on the neck, underarms, groin, and eyelids. These little growths pose no health risk, but many people find them irritating and decide to remove them.
The exact cause of skin tags isn’t completely understood. However, they do occur more commonly in diabetic and obese individuals and people with a family history of skin tags. They affect men and women equally.
How are Skin Tags Treated?
Since skin tags are a benign skin condition, they are generally not removed unless an individual finds them irritating or displeasing. While some home remedies or treatments claim to remove them, surgery is the only way to safely and effectively remove skin tags. A dermatologist will use a blade, liquid nitrogen, or electric cautery. A local anesthetic can be used if necessary.
Skin tags that are removed don’t typically grow back. However, you can still develop new ones in other parts of your body.
