I tied a piece of string around my skin tag and it has been about a week. It has gotten all ball like and looks like blood is going to it but isnt leaving it. Is this suppose to happen before it falls off? I tied the string as tight as I could get it.

Yep... Doctor it is! The string wasn't tight enough to choke off the blood supply.

Sounds like it's about to fall off. You can also just use a pair of scissors and cut it off. I do that often with doctor's permission. Just beware that some do bleed a LOT when you cut them. But no worries.

Yup, you are choking off the blood supply and killing off the tag so it falls off. What you are seeing is totally normal (tie something around your finger real tight and you will see the same thing).
HTH
