Skin tag removal Sydney bulk bill

Did you know that many General Practitioners have specialised training in skin cancer diagnosis, skin excisions (such as mole removal) and a range of cosmetic medical services? If you have concerns over a spot, lump or your skins appearance generally, it is usually more convenient and cheaper for you to see one of our Doctors who has a special interest in this area.

Skin checks and excisions

If you’ve noticed a change in a mole or freckle, it’s important to have it checked by a Doctor as soon as possible. Even if you feel as though your skin is healthy, we recommend seeing a GP for a skin check at least once per year, especially if you live in a warm climate and spend time in the sun.

While you can attend any SmartClinic location to have a skin cancer check, you may like to click here search through the list of SmartClinics Doctors by their location and special interest in this area. Some clinics offer bulk billed or low cost skin checks too.

Please note that bookings for skin checks require a longer appointment so we ask that you please call the clinic reception to make a booking rather than booking online.

What are Skin Tags and how are they removed?

Skin tags are unsightly but harmless skin growths. They grow on a stem and are usually found on the eyelids and face, neck, armpits or under breasts. They are also called polyps or soft fibroma. Surgical and nonsurgical procedures are used to remove skin tags by cutting, tying, burning, using electrosurgery, or freezing, using liquid nitrogen called cryosurgery.  

Is Skin Tag Removal painful?

A local anaesthetic or numbing cream is applied to the skin tag area before it is removed. Patients will not feel pain when skin tags are removed.  

Can I travel by air after Skin Tag Removal?

Patients should wait at least a day after skin tag removal before flying so that the local anaesthetic has completely worn off.  

When will I recover after Skin Tag Removal?

It takes four to five days before patients fully recover after a skin tag is removed. Recovery time depends on the number of skin tags, the size of the skin tag and the area of the body where they are located.

What care is required after Skin Tag Removal?

Patients should take all prescribed medications and apply topical medications correctly. They should sleep with their head elevated for two days. They should avoid strenuous exercise and lifting heavy objects for at least a week. They should avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight for at least nine months. They should avoid touching or scratching the treated area to ensure that the healing is quick.
