I have a few skin tags and was wondering what would be the best way to remove them myself.
I've heard of tying a peice of cotton around them
but how long will it take for the skin tags to fall off?

Yep, my Dermatologist told me these are very common on the human body.

Using ligation (tying them off tight around their "stem") is very effective and, as mentioned above, takes a couple of days for them to "die off".
A sewing thread cleaned with alcohol first would work well.

Another method used in the Doctor's office is Cryotherapy where Nitrogen is applied to the skin tag for a few seconds, depending on the diameter and depth of freeze, and this will also take a day or so to shrivel up and fall off.

I have a few and a few times a strand of hair has gotten wrapped around them. This of course cuts off the blood supply and after about three days they fall off. Not very pleasant but it works!

That is a way to remove them but make sure you sterilize everything and watch for infection. Doctor also told husband that sometimes they do return.

I've never had this done but I'm sure you will be given a local anesthetic for the pain and you will probably just need ibuprofen when you go home from the procedure

go to your doctor who can offer freezing them off or cauterising them. do not try and remove them with cotton as you can cause an infection.
i had a large wide based one removed a few weeks ago but it had to be cut off due to its size.
