Can a 4-month-old have a preauricular skin tag removed without undergoing general anaesthesia?

Thank you for your question. Dental procedures can be quite terrifying for young children and for some adults with dental phobia. In order for dental procedures to be done comfortably for these individuals, anaesthesia will be required to alter their conscious state so that they can accept dental procedures. Sedation and general anaesthesia are forms of anaesthesia and differs in the level of altered consciousness. General anaesthesia renders the patient completely unconscious meaning the patient will not be able to see, hear, feel or remember any of the procedures done on them.

An itch due to haemorrhoids responds well to topical cream application. Cream is usually prescribed by a doctor after assessment of a hemorrhoid condition.
