Should I have not cut my skin tags?

I had five skin tags and I was sick of them so i cut them all off. they bleed a lot, but thats it. Now I'm reading that you shouldnt cut them yourself. Is it bad what I did? Should I go to a doctor?

Should I have not cut my skin tags?
No, you should not have done it yourself. However, now you need to be very careful about infection. Please keep the areas clean and apply neosporin or triple antibiotic ointment/cream to them at least 3 times a day. If you see any signs of infection:


redness


swelling


pus


pain


red streaks


get to a doctor immediately.

Reply:from what I understand the best way to get rid of skin tags is to tie string around it and make sure its tight and in a couple of days it will fall off. I have never heard of not being able to remove them yourself

Reply:usually cutting them off doesn't achieve much, other than regrowing more in their place. some people suggesting taking a piece of thin, but strong thread and tying it tightly around the skin tag. Leave it for a couple of days and they will fall off...Less painful and messy than cutting them off....
