Skin tags are a benign dermal disease very frequent in the general population. Their exeresis is indicated in case of discomfort of the affected person (usually because of friction or increase in size). In the minor surgery guidelines, their extraction is recommended with cryotherapy, electrocoagulation or shaving with cauterization of silver nitrate (traditional healing techniques). This randomized clinical trial proposes its extraction with a non before referenced technique in the manuals of minor surgery and that is nowadays applied with very good outcomes in the domain of pressure ulcers, chronic wounds and, in recent years, in acute wounds; the moist healing environment. Therefore, the investigators propose the surgical exeresis of the fibroid in the most proximal part of the pendulum with the subsequent placement of a thin hydrocolloid dressing. The objective of this trial is to compare the traditional healing with the moist healing environment in minor surgery, analyzing costs, time invested by the professional, healing time and their respective complications. Expected results: faster healing and lower cost are expected with the new technique. By contrast, more complications are expected in the techniques of cryotherapy and silver nitrate. Applicability / Relevance: it is a common pathology usually treated in the minor surgery office or routine visit. Therefore, it can show us which treatment leads to fewer complications for the patient and which is more cost-efficient for the health system.
