is it safe to cut skin tabs off neck?

Answer 1

Registered Nurse here; No it is not safe to remove skin tabs from your neck. Please seek a Dermatologist, even these highly trained physicians do not remove skin tabs with out sending them to pathology for a report. They are usually benign, however this is one way melanoma the most deadly form of skin cancer is caught. If you don't seek the removal by a dermatologist, I strongly suggest you leave them alone. I understand your self conscious about them, but sweetie removing them yourself is not a safe alternative.

Answer 2

Go to a dermatologist. I work at a dermatology office and we can remove them in the office. They just numb the area a little and take it off. Pretty much painless. DO NOT DO IT YOUR SELF. If you don't know what you are doing, you can slip and cut something serious. You can also cause serious infection due to sterlization issues and bacteria.

Answer 3

actually it is safe if its sanitary and u have to cut it of the right way b/c my uncle had some on his neck and the way he had his friend do it wasto cut it off right on the place whear it starts like where the tab is a small ball hanging off and wut you use to do it is a piece of a string and you tie it around the right part and then pull it so that it will come off right away and if you do it that way it should be fine just make sure to wash it with soem alchohol when ur done ok
hope this helps

Answer 4

Don't cut them, put wart remover on them. It really works! The salicylic acid in wart remover completely dries them out and the go away. You could also get them frozen off by a doctor or dermatologist.

Answer 5

At one time, I would have said if it bothers you that much have a dermatologist remove it...don't do it yourself. However, on one of my routine visits to my dermatologist this past summer for one of my melanoma follow-ups I had one on my chest that was really annoying me and I complained about. She offered to remove it, reassuring me there was no reason to be worried about it...a couple of months later I got an $80 bill from some lab to analyze this little bit of skin (nothing came up of course) which I was not aware was going to happen. I was not amused.

Answer 6

It can be safe but then ,to be on the "safe" side,I'd see a Dermatologist to have them removed. I had a few on my neck and I just twisted them daily till they got a little dis-colored and then they fall off by them selves....hehehe...do not try this at home!!!!

Answer 7

putting interior sight anaesthetic into the penis could be somewhat unwise without appropriate expertise (some have blood vessel constrictors in them that ought to compromise blood bypass to the penis and...do no longer decide for to think of roughly what might take place then). The cut back edges of the exterior bridge ought to bleed besides, and in case you may no longer get it to end, there is hardship. those sorts of issues might desire to be straightforward for a urologist to shield in a couple of minutes appropriately

Answer 8

I cut three skin tabs off on my body. I immediately applied an antiobiotic cream; it worked very well and they never came back.

Answer 9

Yes it is safe if you do it right. With a clean and sterile razor blade, and the tab is not to large because they bleed. if it is large see a doctor. 1/8 long toothpick thick.
Infection,infection,infection

Answer 10

no, unless they have skin under them, it usually fall off but after 6-9 days the skin comes back.
