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.
So glad we found Zach, awesome experience. He checked what we came to ask and took the time to answer extra questions. Office was welcoming and Andrea was very nice and efficient. We have found our new dermatologist. Thank you.
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
I had a really good experience at Jax Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery. I went in because I was having issues with my skin and hair, and to be honest, those kinds of things can make you feel a little self-conscious.
From the moment I walked in, Morgan at the front desk made me feel welcome. She was kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. She helped me relax and made me feel comfortable instead of embarrassed about why I was there.
A smile and a little kindness can go a long way, and Morgan definitely made a difference in my visit. Thank you for making me feel at ease. I truly appreciate it!

Very positive experience. From front desk thru a minor procedure everyone was polite, caring & informative. I have no qualms about going back in future.
Response from the owner:Thank you, we are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
10/10 From the front desk staff to the APRN.
Michelle is so thorough in answering your questions about dermatology and skin issues and so genuinely kind. The practice was on time, also not also a norm in medical care, but so far I've been 11 for 11 with them in that regard.
I highly recommend this practice for dermatologic needs and WEAR SUNSCREEN, y'all! 🌞
Response from the owner:We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
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.
