Those pesky little "tags" you get on your neck, other areas... They don't hurt, or seem to cause any major problems, but look bad and seem to multiply.........
What causes "skin tags," and does anyone have any ideas to get rid of/avoid them?
Skin tags are a part of the process of aging usually, throw in some genetics, they are for the most part harmless. a good dermatologist can can spray them with a solution something like dry ice and they will be gone. the worst problem I've seen with them is getting caught on clothes or such and getting ripped off.
Reply:My father uses wart remover on his, which seems to work for him. The way i do it is to twist them in one direction a little each day. Eventually, the blood supply to the skin tag is constricted and the skin dies. The tag shrivels and you can just peel it away. It stings a little bit when twisting (as though the skin is being cut slightly), but that has proven the most effective for me! I've also heard of people clipping them right off with nail clippers but that seems like the most painful route!
Reply:I saw a segment on tv about skin tags and the doctor on it recommended the easiest way to safely remove them was to tie a piece of string or fishing wire around it. This will cut off the blood supply if left on for a day of two and they will soon drop off. Haven't tried it yet but it's on my list of things to try.
