Brief Answer: No worries; Needs removal at convenience Detailed Answer: Hi there. I hear you. These may be just plain acrochordons or skin tags or warts. There is nothing to worry about in either case. The method of removal is either by using heat (electrocautery/Hyfrecator) or Cold (cryotherapy) or lasers. This depends on the availability of equipment & expertise of the dermatologist nearest you. Personally, I would prefer the first as it is definitve & cost-effective as compared to the other two modalities listed. An alternative is 'masterly inactivity' & leave them alone for awhile & do it electively at a time convenient for you. Trust this answer is to the point, prompt & gives you a clear action plan. Good Luck & Godspeed! Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD
