While those are the fastest, the best is to naturally reduce them. I understand they are just sacs of tissue and water, created because the body needs to store that stuff somewhere when one has high insulin. After I got diagnosed with hypoglycemia, and began controlling my blood sugars better, the skin tags started to shrink. I still have them, but they look like little bumps, instead of tags.

Much depends on where they are located - it seems as if there is more than one as you state tags. Suggest you seek advice from your GP or the Practice Nurse. They may be able to treat you at the surgery or get you an appointment at the hospital.
Please don't attempt to remove them by enlisting the help of someone who is not qualified as all sorts of problems could arise from infection etc.
Good Luck.

Cotton tied around the tag and leave it to drop off. Or see the doctor, he will freeze it and cut it off in seconds.

Just wash with antibacterial dial complete soap, and use hot water then cold, put aloe vera gel on afterwards, skin tag is gone.

When i was in high school a guy friend showed me how to take them off with a piece of my hair.. Just tie a knot around it and keep squeezing till it falls off.
Now that i have money and work, freezing them with a dermatologist works just as good..

The doctor can freeze them and cut them off.
Another great answer from Rich P.

To tie a thread around it is the best way, don't cut it off.

Tie a bit of cotton round them and they will eventually drop off.
It might look as bit weird though So you better get your Doctor to remove them

See a doctor. They have to be cut off.
