Genesis Dermatology is a skin tag removal clinic in Chennai for tags on the neck, eyelids, underarms and body folds. A skin tag removal dermatologist in Chennai confirms what they are, removes them under local anaesthesia, and checks why they keep appearing.
Tell us where the skin tags are and roughly how many. We will call back within working hours to confirm a slot.

Individual results vary with skin, hair type and how closely aftercare is followed. Photographs are published with each patient's consent.
Skin tags are soft, harmless growths that form where skin rubs against skin or clothing. They are not contagious and not caused by poor hygiene, and skin tag treatment in Chennai is straightforward once they are confirmed.
Most common site
Small soft tags along the sides and back of the neck, often catching on chains and collars. The most frequent reason people come in.
Delicate area
Tags on the lid margin and around the eyes. Cosmetically the most noticeable and the ones people are most nervous about having treated.
Friction sites
Clusters in the armpits, irritated by shaving, deodorant and clothing. Frequently bleed after a razor catches one.
Body folds
Tags in the skin folds, where they get sore, damp and inflamed. Often accompanied by fungal irritation that needs treating too.
Larger ones
Tags on a stalk that have grown over years, sometimes darkened or twisted. These are removed rather than tied off at home.
Keeps returning
New tags appearing regularly, particularly in the neck and underarms. Worth checking rather than simply removing every few months.
If a growth is dark, firm, painful or bleeding on its own, do not assume it is a tag. A dermatologist for skin tags in Chennai will confirm what it is under dermoscopy before removing it, and will send anything unusual for testing.
One visit for most people, even when there are several tags. Skin tag removal treatment in Chennai here is done under local anaesthesia rather than left to a thread or a home kit.
Send the form or call us. We confirm a time by phone, usually within the same working day.
The growths are examined and counted, confirmed as tags rather than warts, moles or anything that needs testing, and the sites are assessed for irritation.
Local anaesthesia, then radiofrequency ablation or snip excision. Most people have all their tags done in one sitting and leave with wound care instructions and a review date.
Removing a skin tag is simple. Understanding why you are growing them is the part that gets skipped.
Tags form where skin rubs, so friction from collars, chains, bra straps and underarms explains most of them. Weight, sweat and pregnancy all increase them, and many people simply grow them as they get older with no cause worth chasing.
But a sudden crop of tags in the neck and underarms, particularly alongside darkening of the skin in those folds, can be a visible sign of insulin resistance. It is one of the more useful things a dermatologist notices, and it is why we ask about it rather than just clearing the tags and sending you home.
Removing tags does not cause more to appear, which is a myth worth putting down. New ones appear because the same friction and the same underlying factors are still there. A skin tag removal doctor in Chennai should be discussing that with you at the first visit.
Distance is a fair reason to choose a clinic. Who removes them matters more, particularly around the eyes. If you have been searching for skin tag removal near me or skin tag treatment near me, we have three clinics in Chennai, so one of them is usually a short drive away.
Patients come to us from across the city and from the suburbs. If the branch nearest you is full, the front desk will offer you a slot at one of the other two rather than push your appointment out by a week.
Ashok Nagar covers the T. Nagar, Saidapet, K.K. Nagar and Vadapalani side; Kottivakkam covers Adyar, Thiruvanmiyur, Besant Nagar and the OMR stretch; Porur covers Ramapuram, Valasaravakkam, Mogappair and the Mount-Poonamallee corridor. Wherever you searched for a skin tag doctor near me from, one of the three is close to you.
Patients regularly travel to us from
★★★★★About twenty on my neck, built up over years. All done in one sitting and healed within a fortnight.
Balaji S.Ashok Nagar
★★★★★Two on my eyelid that I was nervous about. It took minutes and there is nothing to see now.
Revathi N.Kottivakkam
★★★★★They asked why I had so many and sent me for blood tests. That turned out to matter more than the tags did.

Consultation is charged separately from the procedure. Our front desk will tell you the exact fee when they confirm your slot, so there is no surprise at the counter.
Usually yes. Most people have all of theirs done in a single sitting under local anaesthesia. Very high counts are sometimes split across two visits so that each area heals cleanly rather than being crowded with wounds.
The local anaesthetic stings briefly. After that you feel pressure rather than pain. Most people describe it as easier than they expected and take nothing stronger than a paracetamol that evening.
Yes, and eyelids are one of the commonest sites we treat. It is delicate work close to the eye, which is exactly why it should be done by a dermatologist rather than at a salon or with a home kit.
No. It is painful, it often leaves the base behind so the tag regrows, and it introduces infection into a wound you cannot see properly. Home kits and thread are behind a good share of the infected tags we end up treating.
Removal does not cause new ones. New tags appear because the friction and the underlying factors that produced the first ones are still there. If they are appearing in crops, we look for a cause rather than just removing them again.
Not for a handful of tags. For a sudden or large crop, particularly with darkening in the neck and underarm folds, we often check for insulin resistance and related conditions, because tags can be the first visible sign.
We have three clinics in Chennai (Ashok Nagar, Kottivakkam and Porur) and an aesthetic clinic in R.S. Puram, Coimbatore. Full addresses and phone numbers for each are further down this page. Parking is available at all four, and each clinic has its own direct number if you would rather call that branch.

One consultation confirms what they are, how many can be done today, and whether the count itself is worth investigating.
Skin tags are harmless, which is why they get left for years and then treated badly. Thread, nail clippers, home kits bought online: we see the results of all of them, usually infected and usually with the base of the tag still in place.
They are also mistaken for other things. Warts, small moles and a few growths that need testing all get called skin tags, and the difference matters before anything is cut off.
Here the growths are confirmed under examination, removed under local anaesthesia by radiofrequency or snip excision, and you leave with proper wound care. Most people have every tag they came in with done in one sitting, including eyelids.
The other half of the visit is asking why you have them. A sudden crop, especially with darkened neck and underarm folds, gets checked rather than just cleared. If you have been putting off skin tag removal in Chennai, send the form above or call the clinic during working hours.
Every consultation here is with a qualified skin tag removal dermatologist in Chennai: MBBS with an MD in dermatology, registered with the Tamil Nadu Medical Council, a member of the Indian Association of Dermatologists, and consulting in Tamil, English and Hindi. You are examined by the doctor at every visit, not handed to a therapist after the first one.
Leave your number and our front desk will call you back to fix a time.
