I don't know why you get skin tags, it's probably genetic. But Dr. Gott, who I believe answers health questions in major national newspapers, suggests coating the skin tag with clear nail polish daily. Supposedly it works, although I have no personal experience with this. Seems like it would be worth a try though...good luck!

Has the vet taken a fine needle aspirate of the fleshy lump (skin tag) to confirm there is nothing nasty inside or in their opinion is probably harmless and could be left (a vet will no stake their reputation on a lump definitely being benign as that opens them up to potential liability in they are wrong) Fees charges by vets for the same procedure vary so you could shop around for the best price, but a new vet would still charge an initial consultation fee in addition to surgically removing the lump. If the dog is not in any discomfort and it does not need to be removed, the best thing for the dog would be to leave it alone. Wait and save until you have the money to have it safely removed by a professional vet with a local or perhaps general anaesthetic if that is what you want.

Garlic
A small sliver of fresh garlic. Use a little round bandaid to cover it. Do this at night and remove during the day. It will fall off in about 5 days, maybe less.
Garlic is very potent, so keep it small and off the surrounding skin.
I don't know what causes them. I do have them and the garlic worked and is a heck of a lot cheaper than than going to the doctor!

you might want to specify their location...this can be VERY significant. I would freeze them in any event because it removes the skin source from which they sprang. I've seen one tied and cut and/or cut return. This is not intended as medical advice. Only experience.

Don't have them frozen off....it was horrible! I'd get them cut off before I'd go through that disgusting mess again! (Cutting them off is the preferred method for lots of people.)
Why do we get them? I have no idea...but I've got lots of them, I thought they were moles.

I'm not sure why you get them, but they are harmless. An easy way to get rid of one is to snip it off with nail clippers...dont snip off moles!
