SKIN TAGS remove?
Three ways I have heard of.





1. Yourself - compound w - I did this, it hurt but worked.


2. Dr. Pull and cut.


3. Freeze with liquid nitrogen. There are OTC stuff for this, but best to have DR.
Reply:no, it will hurt too much, you have to have a doctor do it.....it is fast and easy for them to do it.
Reply:Dip nail clippers in rubbing alcohol then cut off.





It may bleed.





Put anti-bacterial cream on after
Reply:i had one underneath my armpit and it was really horrible when i had to shave.... what i did with it was i put ice on it for a few minutes, then i dried it and i clipped it off with a toenail clippers.... but i never had pain from them... so maybe you just want to go and see a doctor...
Reply:pinch with clean trimmed fingernails and yank...clean with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, band-aid for at least half a day so it stops bleeding and seals, then let it air and heal...and that's the careful way...





...me, i just pinch and yank...but mine aren't terribly big...don't do it if yours are...
Reply:It is not sterile or safe to do it yourself. Don't think that dipping something in alcohol makes it sterile. They also bleed a lot. And they are more than skin deep often. You really need to have an annual appointment with your dermatologist to freeze them off.
Reply:I use sharp manicure scissors and snip em off myself all the time. It's all a doctor did the first time I asked to have them removed, so I decided to just do it myself thereafter. Why pay a doctor to do what I can do easily myself. Just be careful to wash well before, then apply antibiotic ointment like neosporin after and maybe a bandage for a few hours until the bleeding stops. Mine never seem to bleed all that much, but that is unique to me and might not be the case for you. Keep gauze handy and snip away.
Reply:My brother tied dental floss around his. It dried up and just fell off.
Reply:You can remove them yourself. It will hurt though. You can numb with ice first and then either use nail clippers like others have said or tie floss or fishing line around the skin tag and then pull hard and fast.





I had mine removed by a dermatoligist and it cost $500.00 to have 8 of them removed. Most of that cost was to pay for the removed skin to be sent to pathology (to be checked for cancer), which I was told was routine.
Reply:ok this works on moles also tie some dental floss around the bottom of it as close to the skin as possible it takes about a day but they fall off.
Reply:I had one on my neck removed by a doctor quick and simple.








FYI: insurances will not pay for it; it is consider a cosmetic procedure. But it's very inexpensive.
