My mother had a skin tag on her face. Please do not try to remove it yourself. check with your physician/doctor %26amp; have him/her remove it. If you try pulling/cutting it off, you may cause more damage than you want.

Reply:A doctor is the best person to remove them, dont try to do it yourself or you could get it infected and you would end up with a nasty scar instead
Reply:Yes that works, I have had some under my arm and have used a new nail clipper and clipped them. It hurts like hell and bleeds but there gone. People probably would agree but it worked for me.





How are skin tags treated? In cases in which a skin tag is irritated or cosmetically unwanted, treatment may be done by freezing the tag with liquid nitrogen, tying off the tag with a thread or suture so as to cut off the blood supply, or cutting off (excising) the tag with a scalpel or scissors.





Is there another medical name for a skin tag? A skin tag is medically also termed a cutaneous papilloma or an acrochordon. However, a skin tag is best known as a skin tag.
Reply:Uhhh Never heard of that technique before. Some skin tags can be easily removed , others are too big and should only be done by a doctor. I have had many of them removed in my life. The larger ones may need to be cauterized to stop the bleeding. A dermatologist can remove them all at one time. Its important to have a doctor do this because some moles look like skin tags.
Reply:Nowadays, so many people of all ages have skin tags that it just doesn't matter if you have them anymore. I used to think mine were freakish until I asked around and 7 times out of 10, the people you ask either have them too or know someone who has them. And like the others have said ... it hurts like hell to rip them off yourself. OUCH!!!
Reply:Sanitized nail clippers. If they are small, this is the easiest way to do it. I just removed 3 yesterday.. two were very tiny, one was large. The large one kind of hurt, but as long as you are 100% sure everything is sanitized and you don't clip your skin besides the tag, it's safe. They will bleed if they are big, but don't get freaked out.





I tried the string thing but it never worked for me..
