Anyone ever had moles/skin tags removed from your face?

I want to know if the removal of tiny skin tags from my face would be painful. I've heard of laser and topical treatments but I'd like some insight on the most effective (least painful) method from someone who's experienced it firsthand.

Anyone ever had moles/skin tags removed from your face?
I've had tiny, tiny ones and I've actually clipped them off myself with nail clippers, then put rubbing alcohol on them to keep the area clean and prevent infection.





Don't want to do that with bigger ones though. Can't imagine it would be too painful, really. Talk to your dermatologist.
Reply:The doctor can even take the tag and SNIP cut it off! When the scab falls off, no more taggie-waggie!





of course, it depends on the size of the tag, too!


Get them done NOW before they are huge and gross---and if you say you think there might be skin cancer in your family, they sometimes will code it so ins pays.


NOT THAT I TOLD YOU TO SAY THAT OR ANYTHING.....
Reply:I've had a dermatologist take of a few. They "froze" them and then snipped them. It really wasn't that painful... not at all.
Reply:I have had one removed from the corner of my lip, but I went to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Don't worry it won't hurt!
