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.
I went in two separate times for two different concerns and each time Michelle made me feel heard. She took the time to listen to my concerns and allowed me to explain what’s been going on with my skin and what i’ve been doing with my home skincare. She seemed to really take pride in patient care. I will definitely continue to go to her! The only downside is the reception area doesn’t come off friendly.
Response from the owner:We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!

My aunt and I had a great experience at Jacksonville Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery! The staff was friendly, professional, and made everything smooth from start to finish.
A special shoutout to Morgan—she was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. She took the time to thoroughly explain everything to my aunt, answered all of her questions, and made us feel completely at ease. Her attention to detail and warm, reassuring approach truly made my experience exceptional.
Highly recommend!

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.
