I have two skin tacks between my legs (no, not my testicles), and after I went hiking in the mountains several days ago, they got chafed and inflamed and now it's all I can do to keep my hands out of my pants to soothe the irritation. What do you suggest?

pull them out until they are stretched with a pair of tweezers and then take fingernail clippers and clip them off at the skin. immediately apply alcohol.

I have heard from some people that come into my work place, a pharmacy, that if you apply clear nail polish to them for a few days a few times a day, that it can make them fall off. I have no idea if it works, but I have heard from several people that that is what they do to get rid of them.

I am thinking you mean skin tags, they can be removed but you will need to go see your doctor and in his/her office they can remove them by cutting them off. Sometimes they have to be numbed up with lidocaine but if small enough they can be snipped off with just small surgical scissors. Now to stop the bleeding sometimes depending on size they dont bleed but if they do the doctor can put some Drysol (liquid cauterization/painless) on the area which will take care of it.

Rub some petroleum jelly or similar type gel on them.
