Ep 9. Skin Tag, You're It!

Save My Skin season 2 episode 9, titled "Skin Tag, You're It!", follows dermatologist Dr. Emma Craythorne as she helps her patients deal with a range of skin issues. In this episode, Dr. Emma is confronted with several cases of skin tags, a common skin condition that can be unsightly and sometimes even painful.

The first patient she sees is Laura, a 32-year-old woman who has several large skin tags on her neck that she is self-conscious about. Laura explains that she has tried to remove them herself in the past, but they keep growing back. Dr. Emma examines the skin tags and recommends a surgical procedure to remove them. Laura is nervous about the procedure, but Dr. Emma reassures her that it will be a quick and relatively painless process.

The next patient is Michael, a 49-year-old man who has a skin tag on his eyelid that is causing him discomfort. Dr. Emma notes that skin tags on the eyelids can be particularly challenging to remove due to the delicate nature of the area. She performs a careful procedure to remove the tag without damaging Michael's eyelid.

The third patient is a 42-year-old woman named Becky who has a skin tag on her face that is causing her embarrassment and discomfort. Dr. Emma examines the skin tag and determines that it is actually a type of benign tumor called a fibroma. She recommends a surgical procedure to remove it, which Becky agrees to.

Throughout these procedures, Dr. Emma explains the science behind skin tags and how they can be safely removed. She also provides tips for preventing skin tags from forming in the first place, such as maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding friction in areas where skin tags commonly develop.

In addition to these skin tag procedures, Dr. Emma also sees several patients dealing with other skin issues. One patient has developed a painful rash after using a new skincare product, while another has a large, painful pimple on her cheek. Dr. Emma provides advice and treatment for these issues as well, highlighting the importance of seeking professional help for any skin concerns.

Overall, "Skin Tag, You're It!" offers an informative and educational look at a common skin condition and the treatments available for it. Dr. Emma's expertise and compassion shine through as she helps her patients feel more comfortable in their own skin.
