Take a piece of thin thread and tie it as tight as you can around the base of the skin tag. Cut the excess off and leave it alone. In a day or two the thing will just fall off because no blood is getting to it.





It really works I've done it a few times.
Reply:You can cut them off with a sharp pair of manicure scissors. Put some alcohol on the spot first, snip it off close to the skin, and hold gauze to stop the bleeding. Then again put on some alcohol. If they are large, you can ask your doctor or a dermatologist to do it. It stings a bit, but then they are gone...only to find another. Welcome to old age.
Reply:Go see a dermatologist for advice. Most doctors freeze them off if they are suspect for skin cancer. Do not cut them off yourself. If they are suspect the doctor will have them biopsied (checked) for cancer. As you get older your skin needs more shelter from the sun. Wear sunscreen SPF 30 or more. Wear a wide brim hat, long sleeves, and avoid the midday sun.
Reply:Dermatologist. My husband has a few and they told him it would cost around $100.00 to have them removed. They actually have an amount...it's like up to 13, I think for the price. He doesn't have near that many and didn't think it was worth it. But men usually aren't as bothered by things like this as women are. So find a good dermatologist. I've never heard of any "do it yourself" remedies for skin tags, lol. Good luck!
Reply:my family practice doctor just froze off six of them for me. just ask your doctor or dermatologist to remove them. Mine were in the way of my bra strap and I kept scratching them.
