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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
