How can i get rid of a "skin tag" on my leg without going to the doctor to have it removed?

Answer 1

Get the wart remover from the drug store. Wortner I believe its called. Follow the directions to freeze off a wart. Freeze the skin tag two or three times one afte the other. Let a couple of weeks pass and it should fall off. If it is large you may have to repeat again to get it all.

Or get a razor blade and rinse in alcohol. Apply rubbing alcohol to tag. Pull tag out from skin. Slice away tag. It will bleed alot and there is small risk of infection.

I recommend the freezing method as it leaves no scar and is basically painless and is the way most doctors would do these days.

If it is very small twist it around back a forth and it will also dry up and fall off due to trauma.

Been there and done it all three ways.

Answer 2

I wonder if it is an allergic reaction. If you are still in contact with the substance you are allergic to, the rash will not go away. People develop allergic reactions to products that they have been using for years so don't assume that a product is safe just because you have been using it all along. There are two methods for figuring out if the allergy is causing the problem. One (the quickest method) is to stop using everything you have been using and slowly re-introduce the products you want to continue using. Start with laundry soap (and realize that you will have to wash all of your clothes to test this one - a trip to the laundromat will get it done faster), shaving cream, soap, moisturizer, sunscreen or any other product you use on your legs. 1 tbsp of baking soda with 1 cup of water can replace any of your cleaning products - at least as a temporary measure. After the rash goes away, re-introduce no more than one product a week and watch carefully for the return of the rash. The second method is to remove one product at a time for a week or two each and see if the rash goes away. Remember what I said about laundry soap earlier. In the meantime, keep returning to the doctor to search for other options in case it is actually a bacteria or virus instead of an allergic reaction.

Hmmm I chopped a few off once with wire snips but I was totally out of it on scotch at the time! Never again - blood everywhere!!

Answer 4

Freeze it with dry ice, and flick it off with a sterile needle or small exacto knife.
Sterilize the wound with cotton ball dipped in hydrogen peroxide.
Apply pressure with cotton ball to stop bleeding.

Answer 5

tie a piece of string around it and it will cut off the blood supply and drop off
