Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, soft growths that hang from the skin on a narrow stalk. They are extremely common and completely benign.
When to Book
Book a visit if a skin concern is new, spreading, painful, not improving with over-the-counter care, or changing in appearance.
Symptoms
Small, painless, pedunculated growths on the neck, armpits, under breasts, and groin. May become irritated by clothing or jewelry.
Causes & Risk Factors
Friction in skin folds is the primary driver. Obesity, pregnancy, insulin resistance, and genetic predisposition increase risk.
How We Evaluate
Visual diagnosis. Atypical or darkened growths are evaluated more carefully to rule out other lesions.
Treatment Options
Removal via snip excision, cryotherapy, or electrodesiccation in our North Miami Beach office. Quick and well-tolerated.
When It Is Urgent
Not urgent. See a provider if a growth bleeds spontaneously or is firm and fixed rather than soft and pedunculated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a dermatology provider?
No referral is required at Nomi Beach Health. You can book directly for any skin, hair, or nail concern.
What should I expect at my first dermatology visit?
We perform a focused skin examination, review your history, and discuss a treatment plan the same day. Bring a list of current medications and any photos of how the condition has changed.
How long does it take for skin treatments to work?
Timelines vary. Topical treatments for eczema or acne often improve in two to six weeks. Chronic conditions like psoriasis may need several months of consistent therapy.
Will my skin condition come back after treatment?
Many skin conditions are chronic and managed rather than cured. We create maintenance plans to minimize flare-ups and guide you on when to resume active treatment.
Do you accept insurance for dermatology visits?
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans. Contact our office to confirm your specific plan before scheduling.
