Cryotag Skin Tag Remover

Cryotag Skin Tag Remover is a home-use cryotherapy kit designed specifically for the removal of skin tags only. It works by instantly freezing the core of the skin tag, destroying the tag tissue so the skin tag falls off naturally, usually within 2 weeks after treatment.

Fast, targeted treatment: Cryotag uses a precision-tip applicator to target the skin tag itself while helping to keep surrounding skin exposure to a minimum.

Suitable skin tags must match ALL of the following (use only if all apply):

• Location: neck, chest, underarms, back or groin only
• Colour: similar to surrounding skin
• Shape/feel: soft, flexible and raised on a stalk (you should be able to move it with your finger)
• Size: 2mm to 6mm

Kit contents (typical): pressurised aerosol canister with safety shield, cap/applicator holder, 12 precision-tip applicators (12 treatments), and disposable tweezers (plus instruction leaflet).

If you are unsure whether a lesion is a skin tag, do not treat it. Seek advice from a GP or pharmacist. 

Always read and follow the full instructions before use.

Key points before you start

• Do not spray directly onto skin.
• Use in a well-ventilated area and keep away from face and clothing.
• You will need a timer (treatment timing is important).

Step-by-step (summary of leaflet method)

1. Attach a precision-tip applicator by firmly twisting it into the opening on the bottom of the cap.
2. Place the canister upright on a stable surface. Insert cap with applicator into the safety shield on the canister. Keeping upright, press the cap all the way down for 3 seconds to saturate the applicator (you may hear a hissing sound).
3. Remove the cap and applicator. Hold with the tip facing down and wait 15 seconds before applying to allow the tip to reach the correct temperature.
4. Use the tweezers to grasp the skin tag and gently pull it away from the base. Place the applicator tip onto the stalk of the skin tag and apply continuously for 40 seconds. Do not dab.

After treatment, the skin tag may darken before it falls off. Most skin tags fall off within 2 weeks.

Repeat treatment: If the skin tag has not fallen off within 2 weeks, you may treat again, up to 4 treatment cycles, leaving 2 weeks between treatments.

Cryotag’s pressurised canister contains a mixture of: dimethyl ether, isobutane, and propane.

(These are not “medicinal ingredients”; they are the cryogenic propellants used to create the freezing effect.)

Do NOT use Cryotag if:

• You have any type of skin cancer, have ever had skin cancer, or have had a pre-cancerous skin lesion diagnosed anywhere on your body.
• You are diabetic, have poor blood circulation, have been diagnosed with blood conditions affected by extreme cold, or have a weakened immune system.
• You have a bleeding problem.
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• You are under 18 years old.
• The growth is not a skin tag (e.g., mole, birthmark, dark-coloured, hairy, or unusual-looking lesion).
• The skin tag is on eyes/eyelids, face, genitals, or inside mouth/nose/anus, buttocks or lips; or in places that are hard to see/reach.
• Skin is irritated or infected, with redness, itching or swelling.

Treatment limits (to reduce burns/scarring risk):

• Do not treat more than one skin tag per location at a time; leave 2 weeks between treatments for remaining tags.
• Do not freeze for longer than 40 seconds, as over-freezing can cause deeper damage, scarring, or nerve damage.

Possible risks/side effects:

• A small blister may form within a few days (sometimes containing blood).
• Stinging, itching or aching during or after treatment may occur.
• Temporary skin colour changes (lightening or darkening) can occur.

Signs of infection (seek medical advice): redness/hardening around area, hot to touch, yellow/green discharge, odour change, increasing pain, fever, or painful red streaks under the skin.

Flammability and safety:

• Extremely flammable aerosol. Keep away from heat/hot surfaces/sparks/open flames. No smoking. Pressurised container may burst if heated; do not pierce or burn. Do not expose to temperatures above 50°C.
• Avoid contact with eyes (risk of serious harm); rinse with water for 15 minutes if contact occurs and seek medical help.
• Do not inhale contents; use only in well-ventilated areas. Do not ingest. Keep out of reach of children.
