Skin Tag and Mole Removal New Cairo

Safe, professional removal of skin tags, moles & skin lesions - treatment methods, cost breakdown, recovery guide & expert dermatologist insights at Perla Clinic

What Are Skin Tags and Moles?

Skin tags (acrochordons) are small, soft, benign growths that hang from the skin on a thin stalk. They are flesh-colored or slightly darker, typically 2-5mm in size, and commonly appear on the neck, armpits, under breasts, eyelids, and groin. Skin tags are caused by friction, genetics, hormonal changes, obesity, and aging. They are completely harmless but can be annoying or cosmetically concerning.

Moles (nevi) are pigmented spots on the skin caused by clusters of melanocytes (pigment cells). They can be flat or raised, brown, black, pink, or skin-colored, and range from 2mm to over 10mm in diameter. Most people have 10-40 moles on their body. While the vast majority are benign, some moles can develop into melanoma skin cancer, especially atypical or changing moles.

Removal Methods: How It Works

We use multiple proven medical techniques to safely remove skin tags, moles, and other growths. The method chosen depends on the size, type, location, and whether biopsy is needed. All procedures are performed by board-certified dermatologists using sterile technique and local anesthesia.

Cryotherapy (Freezing)

Most Popular • Quick • Minimal Scarring

300-800 EGP

How It Works:

Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the growth at -196°C. The extreme cold destroys the cells, causing the growth to fall off within 7-14 days. No cutting or anesthesia needed for most cases.

Best For:

Small to medium skin tags
Superficial warts
Small moles (non-cancerous)
Multiple lesions in one session

Advantages:

Very fast (seconds per lesion)
No stitches required
Minimal scarring
Cost-effective for multiple tags

Recovery:

Blister may form within 24 hours. Keep area clean and dry. Growth falls off in 1-2 weeks. Avoid picking at the area.

Surgical Excision

Precise • Complete Removal • Biopsy Available

1,000-5,000 EGP

How It Works:

After local anesthesia, the dermatologist uses a surgical blade to cut out the entire growth including roots. The wound is closed with stitches (sutures). The removed tissue can be sent for biopsy to check for abnormal cells.

Best For:

Large or deep moles
Suspicious or changing moles
Moles requiring biopsy
Complete removal with no regrowth

Advantages:

100% removal with roots
Histopathology (biopsy) available
Permanent results
Best for medical concerns

Recovery:

Stitches removed in 7-14 days. Keep wound clean and covered. Avoid strenuous activity for 48 hours. Small linear scar fades over 6-12 months.

Electrocautery (Burning)

Effective • Stops Bleeding • No Stitches

500-1,200 EGP

How It Works:

After numbing with local anesthesia, an electric current through a heated probe burns away the growth. The heat simultaneously seals blood vessels, preventing bleeding. The area scabs over and heals naturally.

Best For:

Skin tags on stalk
Small raised moles
Seborrheic keratosis
Patients on blood thinners

Advantages:

Minimal bleeding
No stitches needed
Immediate results
Good for vascular lesions

Recovery:

Scab forms and falls off in 1-2 weeks. Keep area clean with antibiotic ointment. May have slight pigmentation change that fades over time.

Shave Excision

Fast • Minimal Scarring • No Stitches

800-2,000 EGP

How It Works:

After local anesthesia, a surgical blade is used to shave off the raised portion of the mole flush with the skin surface. The base may be cauterized to prevent bleeding. The area heals flat without stitches.

Best For:

Raised moles (not flat)
Benign cosmetic concerns
Moles on face or visible areas
Quick cosmetic improvement

Advantages:

Excellent cosmetic results
No stitches or scar line
Fast healing (1-2 weeks)
Can be biopsied

Recovery:

Small wound heals in 7-14 days. May leave a flat, light-colored spot that blends over time. Small chance of regrowth if roots remain.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does skin tag removal cost in New Cairo?

Skin tag removal in New Cairo typically costs 300-1,500 EGP per session depending on the number of tags, size, location, and removal method used. Cryotherapy (freezing) is usually the most affordable at 300-800 EGP, while surgical excision ranges from 800-1,500 EGP. Multiple skin tags can often be removed in one session for a bundled price.

How much does mole removal cost in Egypt?

Mole removal in Egypt costs between 1,000-5,000 EGP depending on the size, depth, location, and whether biopsy is required. Small superficial moles cost 1,000-2,000 EGP, medium moles 2,000-3,500 EGP, and large or suspicious moles requiring biopsy 3,000-5,000 EGP. Prices include consultation, removal, and follow-up care.

Is skin tag removal painful?

Most skin tag removal procedures involve minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia is applied before removal, so you'll only feel a slight pinch during injection. Cryotherapy causes a brief stinging or burning sensation that lasts seconds. Recovery is typically painless with minor tenderness for 1-3 days. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually sufficient if needed.

Do skin tags grow back after removal?

Properly removed skin tags do not grow back in the same location. However, you may develop new skin tags in other areas due to genetic factors, friction, or hormonal changes. People prone to skin tags often develop them throughout their lives, especially in areas with skin folds like neck, armpits, and groin.

When should I remove a mole?

You should remove a mole if it shows ABCDE warning signs: Asymmetry, irregular Border, Color changes or multiple colors, Diameter larger than 6mm, or Evolution (changing size, shape, color). Also remove moles that bleed, itch, hurt, or are in areas prone to irritation. All suspicious moles should be evaluated by a dermatologist and biopsied during removal to check for skin cancer.

What is the difference between a skin tag and a wart?

Skin tags are soft, flesh-colored growths that hang from the skin on a stalk, caused by friction and genetics. Warts are rough, hard growths caused by HPV virus and can spread through contact. Skin tags are smooth and painless, while warts often have a rough, grainy surface. Treatment differs - skin tags are removed surgically or with cryotherapy, while warts require antiviral treatments or more aggressive cryotherapy.

How long does recovery take after mole removal?

Recovery from mole removal typically takes 1-3 weeks depending on the method and location. Shave excision heals in 1-2 weeks, while deeper surgical excision with stitches takes 2-3 weeks. You can return to normal activities immediately, but avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours. Keep the area clean and dry, apply antibiotic ointment, and protect from sun exposure during healing.

Can I remove skin tags at home?

We strongly advise against removing skin tags at home. DIY methods like cutting, tying off, or using removal creams can cause infection, excessive bleeding, scarring, and incomplete removal. Professional removal by a dermatologist is safe, sterile, fast (takes minutes), and ensures complete removal with minimal scarring. The cost is affordable and the results are far superior to home methods.

Will there be scarring after removal?

Scarring depends on the removal method and size of the growth. Cryotherapy and shave excision usually leave minimal to no visible scars on small skin tags and superficial moles. Deeper surgical excision may leave a small linear scar that fades over 6-12 months. Proper wound care and sun protection minimize scarring. Dermatologists use techniques to minimize scarring, especially on visible areas like the face and neck.

Are skin tags and moles dangerous?

Skin tags are benign (non-cancerous) and not dangerous, though they can be annoying or cosmetically concerning. Most moles are also harmless, but some can develop into melanoma skin cancer. Any mole that changes in size, shape, color, or texture should be examined by a dermatologist immediately. Atypical or dysplastic moles have higher cancer risk and should be monitored or removed preventatively.
