You can remove them yourself, or have your doc remove them. The safest way to get rid of tags yourself is to use a piece of thin dental floss, and hold it firmly against the tag using enough pressure to cut off any blood supply, but not hard enough to break the skin. Make a small loop with the dental floss, and strangle the tag for about 3 minutes. This should disrupt the blood supply long enough for the cells to die on small tags. For larger tags, you may need to leave the string in place for a few hours by tying off the knot and trimming the floss.
Another thing that works, but is a little risker is clipping off the tags with sterile, flat- edged toe or fingernail clipper. This approach has a risk of causing infection and scarring, but it definitely works. You start by boiling the clippers in water for about 5 minutes. Then, numb the tag with ice. After applying ice, clean the skin with alcohol, and then clip off the tab. Use styptic powder (found in the shaving section) to stop the bleeding.

Ah definite, the dreaded raccoon-eyes. i've got have been given them too, and that is brought about by technique of very skinny below-eye skin and little fat in the section so the muscle tissues reason the darkish shade. it particularly is a genetic concern, particularly modern-day in asians and hispanics, and is additionally brought about and/or accentuated by technique of dropping too lots weight too at the instant (which additionally reasons stretchmarks). There are below-eye skin lightening creams, yet there is not any 'info' that they artwork, you may attempt them out nevertheless (i'm extraordinarily skeptical bout those). the only everlasting option is plastic surgical operation the place fat is inserted into the section. definitely, they're in all probability no longer as undesirable as you think of they're- human beings tend to enlarge their faults (i do this sh*t too).

Try seeing a dermatologist to find out whether the skin condition is safe or not. I had a spot on the top of my head that was not cancerous but he still had to burn it off. Ouch!
