Are there any way of removing skin tags at home?

Question

Such as dr scholls wart remover? will that work? I have three on my neck and they aren't worth going to the doctor over. How can I remove them?

I do not want to go to the doctor, I find them way too embarassing. How can I remove them myself.

Answer 1

I know of people who use brand new, sharp, sterile nail clippers to do the job. I myself am too squeamish and afraid of infection so I go to the doc who removes them in like 2 minutes and it's no big deal...they do it all the time. Get over your fear of the doc. You are a woman and it's important to have a good relationship with your doc and have regular checkups.

Answer 2

Wart remover will not work. The most efficiant way sorry to say is a quick trip to the Dr's office. If they're not very big you may not even need stitches just a band aide. It's tough having skin tags in the summer when you want to bare all. Get to the Dr!

Answer 3

Skin tags are mostly thin and long. I know several people that have gotten rid of them by tying a string around them tight enough to cut off the blood supply. They fell off in a couple of days.

Answer 4

My mom uses a piece of thread and ties it around them...she said they will fall off on their own in a couple days due to lack of blood supply. Gross, I know, but she claims it works.
I've never given it a try but if you are determined to do a home remedy go for it!

Answer 5

I used to tear them off by pinching them bteween my nails. Use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide afterwards, so you don't get an infection.

Answer 6

Dr's use sterile scissors with no novacaine. If you are brave - go for it.
