Fingernail clippers work well when they're still small. Unfortunately, the bigger they get, the more painful they are to remove, so clip em quick.

It depends on how much it is attached to your skin, and how big it is. If it hangs loosely you could twist it until it falls off, or sterilize a small carpenter's tool and remove it that way. Although, it WILL be painful. Also, if it is quite large, you will have a larger wound after removal (obviously), and you will run a greater risk of infection. If it's not visible or extremely bothersome, then just leave it alone. A lot of times they fall off on their own. I am not aware of any creams or lotions other than wart removal ointment (Compound W) which you could also try. This is a type of acid that literally burns it off. But it's also something to be very careful with. Hope this at least helps some!

The best way to do this is to numb the area with ice for a few mins. Then clean the area with alcohol. Then use finger nail clippers to quickly cut the tag off as close to the base as possible. Be prepared for some bleeding. After the bleeding has stopped apply a thin coat of an anti bacterial cream and apply a band aid. It should take just a few days to heal. Good luck.

Because of PCOS, I get them periodically. It depends on where the tag is located. I have been fortunate that the few I have had were in places I could remove them. I wiped them with alcohol first them used tweezers to pull them off. It does bleed just a little bit, but it was ok after that. If it is somewhere sensitive like on or near your eye, I would just go to the doctor and let them take care of it.

This may sound stupid, but what is a skin tag?
Looked it up.
The web sites I looked at said to go to a professional.

if a skin tag is simply a loose piece of skin like on your nails. just bite it off.

Yeah just twisted it and ripped it off and then kept it saturated with neosporin.
