This is what worked for me. I had read somewhere that vitamin E would remove skin tags, so I pierced a couple of vitamin E tablets and applied the gel on my skin tags. I did this 2 or 3 times and eventually they just dropped off. Totally painless. My husband had his removed by the Dr. who burned them off - guess he didn't like my idea, although he had a couple near his eyes, so that was probably the right thing to do. But try the vitamin E capsule, it works.
