Any ideas on how to get rid of them without going to the doctor?
Ever cut one off with a fingernail clipper? The damn things gross me out.

I have heard of people saying they tied a string around them real tight, and it eventually fell off or they snipped it off. A doctor can either use LN2 or snip.

Yeah .. it kinda runs in the family. A couple weeks ago I noticed I was getting more and more every day .. I counted about 24 on my neck area. Well, out came the manicure scissors and it was goodbye skin tags. Some bled quite a bit, but, it didn't really hurt much. Hahaha .. my mom freaked out, when I told her I cut them all off myself. :)

yes, you can clip them off with a fingernail clipper, but disinfect the clippers with bleach before you use it. sometimes they bleed, and sometimes not. they could also be one of the 80 varieties of HPV (wart). In that case, take neem bark capsules, turmeric capsules and milk thistle capsules. It won't get rid of existing ones, but it will prevent new ones. if one grows back in exactly the same place it is a wart. then you can make a paste of neem oil and turmeric and cover with that. put a bandage over it. treat like this until gone.

Eew. My husband is dark skinned and has them on his neck. The doctor just pulls them out and snips them. Can you say scream? I guess they are hereditary.

I also have heard of people ting nylon thread, real tight around them and they fall off. I just leave them be, no biggy to me.
