i really really want to know how much it costs. thanks for the home remedy though... does tying a knot to close off circulation there really makes the skin tag fall off for real? please be honest because you don't want to risk my life in danger over something "funny" online

What you are hearing is true,My husband has good insurance
and the skin doctor said some people just shave them off.
All they do in the office is cut or freeze them and the freezing
makes them fall off in a week .same as tying a string around them tightly and dabbing with alcohol every day.
Call and ask a skin doctor what they charge for it if you are
concerned they will give you a ball park figure and that won' cost anything .
Good luck .

What you need to do is get yourself some bleach, pumice, sea salt, phosphoric acid, and a lemon wedge. You start off by gently washing the area and be sure it is dry. Then gently apply the lemon juice - just a squeeze or two - DO NOT OVER DO IT - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Now take the bleach and apply to the affected area with a q tip and 3 drops of phosphorous acid. Gently rub the pumice until the tags are gone.

I had one removed once and it was just part of the cost of a regular office visit, which for my doctor at the time was $65. So if you can work it in get a physical as well. Then you won't consider it a waste of money.

I also have a skin tag which I have shaved off about 30 times (it's a tiny one on my armpit) and it finally stopped growing back, now it's just a little bump. I guess you could do that, shave it off... but it hurts... and it'll grow back the first few times. I think it was worth it though in my own case.

I'd just tie some dental floss on it REALLY tightly, you shouldn't feel any pain after 30 seconds, then just make sure it stays tight, you may have to add more dental floss if it loosens up. It should turn a black color and fall off in a couple of days. (Sorry for the run-on sentence:))

Tie string tight around them for a while. They'll drop off.
EDIT: Yes it will work. I played with mine instead, so ended up rupturing the blood supply, which made it fall off. I used to have one under my eye and there's no trace of it left since then.

Put some ice on the area till numb, and use a pair of clean nail clippers. Might pinch and bleed a bit. clean with peroxide, put antibacterial cream and cover with a bandaid for a day or two.

I tie a thread around them tight and they drop off by themselves in a week.. Not joking.
