Skin tags are simplest lesions to remove. Because these skin lesions are attached by a small stalk, they can be easily sniped off. Other methods of removing them include freezing, laser or heat (electrodessication). Plastic surgeons always recommend the laser because it costs the most.
Because skin tags are no big deal, many types of doctors remove them. However, skin tags located near the eyelids should be removed by a plastic surgeon or an eye doctor. This part of the body is very delicate and the regular doctor can easily mess up your eye and eyelid.
No matter who removes your skin tags, make sure they do give you numbing medication because these darn things hurt as hell during removal (personal experience)
