What is the best way to remove skin tags?
You would need to see a doctor to have them removed- depending on the size, your doctor may refer you to a dermatologist. They can be frozen or cut off. You should not try to remove them yourself, as they can tend to bleed a lot. As it is not known what causes them, there is no way to prevent them. You can read more about skin tags here

Reply:Pull them off at the base of them
Reply:I found a site cuz i had one hold on i will find it
Try this
Reply:I think that you should have these removed by your doctor. My husband gets them all the time, and that's what he does. I don't know of any way to stop them from forming, though.
Reply:sk... what? skin tags? I'm not sure I follow! skin tags...
Reply:Ok Derek I'm not being a smarty. Take some fishing line and tie it around the tag. It will just fall off after a couple of days because the blood supply is cut off. Make sure you tie it really tight.
Reply:To remove....Blowdry them....Honestly...Hold the dryer to them till too hot...then cool and repeat afew times!...It really works!
You can also tie a hair around them but it will take a few days for them to fall off and it looks kind of gross
To prevent....Lose some weight.
Reply:tie cotton around them good and tight and leave it till they drop off. Mt doctor suggested this for me and it really works. It stops any blood supply from getting to them and there is no pain involved at all. Bid fiddly to do tho in some places so you may need some help. Good luck!
Reply:Doctors remove skin tags with sharp scissors, a sharp blade or, less commonly, by freezing or burning them off at the stalk. Bleeding can be stopped with a chemical (aluminum chloride) or electric (cauterizing) treatment.
Sorry,There is no way to prevent skin tags! Good Luck!

What's the easiest way to remove skin tags ?
What's the easiest way to get rid of skin tags ? Anyway to get rid of them without going to Dr.
What's the easiest way to remove skin tags ?
tie a string around it tightly. in a few days it will fall off from lack of blood supply.
Reply:tie thread in a knot around it. it cuts off blood circulation to it and eventually falls off
Reply:If it's big enough, have someone pull it, and tie a string TIGHT on the very base of it....it'll hurt a little. Keep it clean with peroxide or something else. It'll die and fall off. I did it with no problems. Cautious ppl will say go to the doc but I say live a little and save a couple hundred bucks.
Reply:if you can get a good grip on it with your fingers Just twist it back and forth daily. It will eventually fall off...... that's what I do ;)
Reply:Something my dermatologist suggested to me: TWIST them off between your fingers! It stings a little and there will be a drop of blood, but nothing you can't handle. You can also use the tip of a lighted match to burn them off. Light the match, blow it out and quickly touch the hot end to the tag. Much more dramatic!
I've heard that skin tags are a form of a herpes virus and they can keep coming back.
Go see a dermatologist...
PS-It WON'T cost a "couple of hundred bucks", especially if you have health insurance that allows you to see a specialist. My cost was $15 a visit to see my dermatologist.

Is there anyway to get rid of skin tags besides going to a doctor?
Is there anyway to get rid of skin tags besides going and having them cut off by a doctor? Any home remedies?

Rip 'em off, or clip them off with scissors or nail clippers. It only hurts for a minute. Have some antiseptic and a bandaid handy. :-)
Reply:I have cut a couple off with small scissors. It really doesn't hurt, just hard to do. There is not much need in going to a doctor for something so minor.

How do I get rid of skin tags without having a surgical proceedure?
I think they are callled skin tags? Basically they are protruding moles. I know it sounds gross but really I have quite a few of them. Please help.
How do I get rid of skin tags without having a surgical proceedure?
Fulgration or diathermy cuterization is not really a surgical procedure. Or you may get them removed by chemical cautery like silver nitrate.
Good luck!

Do you recommend natural remedies to remove skin moles and skin tags?
I was wondering what you would recommend to remove Skin Moles or Skin tags, going to a dermatologist and having them remove them or trying a natural remedy. If you have used a natural remedy please let me know how it went.
Do you recommend natural remedies to remove skin moles and skin tags?
i just used iodine to remove mine and it worked great. it takes about a week. i have little pink circles on my skin now from it but those seem to be fading
Reply:dermatologist, easy, fast and painless
Reply:Nothing I know of to get rid of moles except have a dermatologist burn them off with a laser pen (not usually covered by insurance).
You could take a piece of sewing string and tie it tightly around a skin tag until it dies and falls off...or you could cut it off with a sterilized nail clippers....
Reply:Mevlana sounds like she would be an interesting date, for a person with moles and skin tags. (Which I do.)

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:My doc told me to cut mine myself... but I've been too chicken.
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:what is a skin tag??
but if its something on ur skin
like i had a mole on my neck
and all they did was give it a shot and then cut it off
didnt feel it
didnt bleed
but im thinkin u made a uh oh
go to a docter or call one asap
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....

How can I get rid of skin tags, will wart remover work?
I have 3 small skin tags at the bottom of my back, they are starting to rub on my clothes, any way I can get rid of them without surgery? I thought I may be able to freeze them off with wart remover??
How can I get rid of skin tags, will wart remover work?
Hi,
A skin tag is a common, benign condition which consists of a bit of skin that projects from the surrounding skin and may appear attached to the skin. Skin tags can vary quite a bit in appearance. They may be smooth or irregular, flesh colored or more deeply pigmented, and either simply be raised above the surrounding skin or have a stalk (a peduncle) so that the skin tag hangs from the skin.
n 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.
Please never, never try to remove them youself. Wart remover is the last thing you should do. Visit your doctor who will decide if they can be safely tied off or frozen off.
Reply:You can have them removed as a minor operation which is a bit of a misnomer as you don't need surgery as such. You can be in and out of the hospital or doctor's surgery within about 1 hour. I would not recommend hacking or burning them off yourself.
Reply:Your doctor will freeze them off for you with dry ice. It only took a few minutes to remove a wart from my finger. They use the same treatments for skin tags.
Reply:I HAD ONE ON MY EYELID, THE DOCTOR REMOVED FOR ME BY BURNING IT OFF, IT WAS SAFE.
MY DAUGHTER WHO IS A BEAUTY THERAPIST, SAID YOU CAN WRAP COTTON THREAD AROUND THEM, PULL IT TIGHT AND LEAVE IT, THEY WILL THEN DROP OFF, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT.
Reply:yuck!!
Reply:i've never heard of wart remover getting rid of skin tags. my mother had a couple and the doctor burned them off and they never came back.
Reply:Yes, if you can have a friend or partner tie a piece of thread to the base of each one, that will cut off the blood supply and they will drop off in a few days. I have removed a few skin tags this way and it works fine.
Reply:go to doc's to get them removed or cosmetic surgery place. or u can tie some cotton round them leave it until they drop off. it stops the blood from flowing and will drop off but not sure how long it takes.
