I took my skin tags to the dermatologist who picked up a tool and scraped them off. Buy yourself one of those pedicure sponges (about the size of a bar of soap) and use it dry.

oh yes, everything you look at and read, everything you search and discuss is NOT private = we are all being watched 24-7.

Your doctor (or dermotologist) can freeze them off with nitrogen. It only stings for a second and then they dry up and fall off.

I have cut mine off with small, very sharp scissors. There was minimal pain involved, which only lasted a second.

Both husband and self had Dr to nip off , no numbing required. Only one under my arm had to have something to stop bleeding. Really does not hurt ! Don't know about you but I'd try it before getting a needle to see .

I have them too. Where bra band rubs and now under my arm. I am reading all replys. I may try a couple and see if they work. I have to work up the nerve to try cutting. LOL

I had one under my arm by the top of my bra area. I tired a thread around it tight and left it short. It fell off in a few days and never came back. It hung pretty good.

I do use it. I put it on about every 3 days and let it dry. Takes1-2 weeks for the skin tag to dry up and fall off. I get them where my bra rubs.

Skin tags are so unattractive especially around the neck area. I had a few show up on around my neck and the dermatologist removed them in seconds. Why wait with the home remedies? I never had any more. I think he froze the them since they were so small. They get bigger and more prone to be bothersome if not removed.
