Private Genital Skin Tag and Wart Removal at London Real Skin

Our Specialist Practitioners hold advanced genital lesion removal clinics, which include a thorough complimentary consultation, treatment plan and enhanced aftercare with a free follow-up review.

With same-day treatment available, you can avoid lengthy NHS waiting lists and be treated in complete confidence. We are a CQC-regulated medical clinic.

How genital lesion removal works

At your free consultation, your Specialist Aesthetic Practitioner assesses your area of concern and suitability for Sterex Advanced Electrolysis (ACP), and discusses the likely outcome, cost and what to expect.

Before treatment, a strong topical anaesthetic is applied to minimise discomfort.

During treatment, the tip of a fine probe discharges a small electrical current to gently destroy and seal the lesion, protecting the area from bacteria.

After treatment, you receive aftercare instructions and products, plus a free follow-up review to assess healing.

For some concerns only one treatment is necessary; more may be needed depending on the number and severity of lesions. In some complex cases you may be assessed by a Dermatologist before treatment.

What are genital lesions?

Anal skin tags

Anal and peri-anal skin tags present as small, flesh-coloured growths of extra skin around the anus. They are usually harmless and are only problematic if they become irritated by tight clothing, if they grow in size, or if they cause worry and embarrassment. Skin tags are best treated by a medical professional and you should not attempt to treat them at home due to risk of harm or infection.

Anal skin tags must not be confused for haemorrhoids. Haemorrhoids usually cause functional issues, discomfort and bleeding. You should consult a Dermatologist, GP or a pharmacist if this is the case as you can be treated with over the counter topical creams.

Vaginal & vulval skin tags

Like most skin tags, vaginal skin tags (and skin tags on the vulva) appear as soft, flesh-coloured flaps of extra skin attached to the vulva, vagina or surrounding genital area. They are harmless but can catch on clothing, become irritated, or simply cause self-consciousness.

Vaginal and vulval skin tags are easily and precisely removed by our experienced practitioners using Sterex Advanced Electrolysis, with minimal discomfort and minimal downtime. Treatment is carried out discreetly and sensitively in our CQC-regulated Holborn clinic, often on the same day as your consultation.

Skin tags on the penis, foreskin & scrotum

Anyone can develop skin tags on the penis shaft, foreskin, scrotum or around the penis. Like other skin tags they are generally harmless, but can become uncomfortable or irritated by tight clothing such as gym wear, and many patients simply dislike their appearance.

Sterex Advanced Electrolysis is a quick, precise treatment with minimal downtime, and our expert practitioners aim to achieve the best possible aesthetic outcome for skin tags on the penis and surrounding skin.

Genital warts

Genital warts are most commonly caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and are easily transmitted via sexual contact.

Genital warts look very similar to skin tags – flesh-like growths on the genitals, including the rectum, penis and vagina, which tend to spread.

Sterex Advanced Electrolysis is a precise lesion removal treatment, which is quick and causes minimal discomfort. Luckily genital warts can easily be removed in just one or two treatments depending on the severity.

Pearly penile papules

Pearly penile papules usually appear as several small bumps, which can have a white pearl-like sheen, and are typically found on the shaft of the penis. It is thought that one in four men can develop papules in their lifetime.

Penile papules are not caused by an infection and are therefore not contagious and are usually harmless.

Patients tend to seek penile papule removal for cosmetic reasons.

Genital cherry angiomas

A cherry angioma is a red or purple spot, which can develop anywhere on the body, including the genitals.

Cherry angiomas are made up of blood vessels and are early removed using Sterex Advanced Electrolysis.

Skin tags in the groin, pubic area & inner thigh

Skin tags frequently develop in the groin, pubic area and inner thighs, where skin naturally folds and rubs. Friction from clothing, sweating and hormonal changes all contribute.

These skin tags in the private area are harmless but easily caught or irritated and, like all genital skin tags, are best assessed and removed by a medical professional rather than treated at home, to avoid harm or infection.

Skin tags vs genital warts: how to tell the difference

Genital skin tags and genital warts can look similar because of where they appear, but they are different conditions and are treated differently. The key difference is that genital warts are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and are contagious, whereas skin tags are non-viral and not contagious.

Feature Genital skin tags Genital warts
Cause Friction, sweating, hormones — non-viral HPV (a sexually transmitted virus)
Contagious? No Yes
Appearance Soft, flesh-coloured flaps of skin Small flesh-coloured growths that can cluster & spread
Treatment Sterex Advanced Electrolysis (ACP) Sterex Advanced Electrolysis (ACP)

If you’re unsure whether you have a skin tag or a wart, our practitioners can confirm the difference quickly and discreetly at your consultation, and remove either safely, usually in one or two sessions.

Other genital lesions London Real Skin treat

Using Sterex Advanced Electrolysis we also treat anal and peri-anal skin tags, pearly penile papules, genital cherry angiomas, genital skin flaps and (with Dermatologist approval) moles. Anal skin tags should not be confused with haemorrhoids, which cause functional issues, discomfort and bleeding.  If you suspect haemorrhoids, consult a dermatologist, GP or pharmacist.

How much does genital skin tag removal cost in London?

Genital skin tag and wart removal at London Real Skin starts from £300. The exact price depends on the size and number of lesions and the area being treated, and is confirmed at your free consultation. Flexible monthly finance options are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between genital skin tags and warts?

Both appear as small, flesh-coloured growths. The main difference is that genital warts are caused by HPV, a contagious virus, while skin tags are non-viral and not contagious.

Skin tags tend to develop from friction, sweating and hormonal changes. Our practitioners can confirm which you have at your consultation.

Can you remove skin tags on the vagina or vulva?

Yes. Vaginal and vulval skin tags are easily and precisely removed using Sterex Advanced Electrolysis, discreetly and with minimal discomfort, in our CQC-regulated Holborn clinic.

Can you remove skin tags on the penis?

Yes. Skin tags on the penis shaft, foreskin and scrotum are removed quickly and precisely with Sterex Advanced Electrolysis, with minimal downtime.

How do you get rid of skin tags on your genitals?

The safest option is to see a medical professional. Sterex Electrolysis is the most effective minimally-invasive, non-surgical treatment and can often be carried out the same day as your consultation.

Are genital skin tags harmful?

In most cases genital skin tags and warts are harmless, but they can grow, become irritated or painful, and cause embarrassment, the most common reason patients seek removal.

How much does genital skin tag removal cost?

Treatment starts from £300, with the final price confirmed at your free consultation based on the size, number and area of the lesions. Monthly finance is available.

How do I know if it’s a haemorrhoid or an anal skin tag?

Haemorrhoids are swollen veins that can be painful, itchy and bleed. Anal skin tags are small growths of excess skin that usually only become uncomfortable from friction. If you suspect haemorrhoids, speak to a Dermatologist, GP or pharmacist.

What our patients say

Satwant was absolutely amazing, really warm and welcoming, put me at ease despite being super anxious and was very diligent in informing me about the process. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or come by again!

Jenny, May 2022

I had an appointment with Dr Inna for milia extraction and sebaceous hyperplasia. I had this issue for years and she managed to resolve it in a few minutes. I’m over the moon with the treatment. She also helped me treat a few broken capillaries so my skin now looks fresh and spotless. I would highly recommend her treatment to everyone. Thank you and see you soon
