What are skin tags supposed to look like after removed?
So my mom and i went to the doctor and got our skin tags on our neck removed. I only had a few so the doctor just cut them off but my mom had a lot more so the doctor froze them off. Now mines are fine but hers seem to have swelled up? They look kinda like blisters. Is that normal? Shoud she go back to the doctor?

If your mother’s skin is blistering where the skin tags were removed, it means that live tissue was affected during the freezing process, and is now trying to heal itself. The good news is that she will probably have no scars as a result of the procedure. The bad news is… blisters hurt!
Keep the blistered skin areas clean and dry, as you would for a blister in any other location. If the area is raw, apply a moisturizing wound ointment such as Aquaphor, and cover the area with a sterile bandage until healed.
