It all depends on how you intend to to cut them off... If you're to use scissors or nail clippers, you have to make sure that the tool you use is not infected.
The other thing is that you have to make sure that it's actually a skin tag. If it's a tumor or a wart, then that may be quite risky.

I've done it before, it stings. And if you don't get the whole thing it grows back...and the crazy things TAN. I didn't go in the sun and the tags were not dark. then I spent time in the sun and they turned BROWN, Gross!
I heard of a remedy, you get Grapefruit Seed extract, not grape... from the health food store. and you put a drop on the tag and cover it with clear tape. it is supposed to make it fall off. I think I would use packing tape, it has more sticking power. and the extract is oily.

Positively. I have done it and had it done at home with no problems at all. Just be sure to have a very sharp instrument and all things sterilized. Good luck. If you just remove the skin tag, there will not be torrentail bleeding!!!!

What on the earth is a pores and skin tag??? I have no thought what you're speaking approximately, yet never EVER shrink any area of you! the sole guy or woman who could EVER shrink stay pores and skin is a physician!! do not do it at domicile, you threat bleeding, an infection, discomfort, bruising, and did I point out an infection? heavily flow to a physician for despite the fact that a pores and skin tag is, do not shrink them your self, you're actually not a physician! Edit: i'm going to not comprehend wtf a pores and skin tag is, yet my mom is a nurse and that i comprehend that once you shrink stay pores and skin, you run the prospect of an infection. Giddyup, you're a fool in case you think of you're actually not risking it.

Do not be your own Surgeon. The Skin tags do have Nerve endings & may have Blood Vessels. So in such case there might be Torrential bleeding which may require Hospitalization. & when you can get them removed without pain, why bear pain ? Have you heard there is a saying, " Penny wise, Pound Foolish"

I know people who have cut them off with a nail clipper. Personally I'd be afraid to. But if you do, disinfect them and the clippers before you do and then disinfect your skin and put on Neosporin and a bandaid afterwards. I've even heard of people putting duct tape over them and I guess it "kills" 'em.

I have. I froze it with an ice cube, sterilized the area with betadine and the cuticle scissors I used, then snipped it off. I put antibiotic ointment on afterward. No problems have occurred.

There is a danger of infection if you are not very careful about sterilizing your equipment.
I have removed small ones "at home" but feel it best to let professionals deal with larger ones.
