I heard that some simple common potion will remove skin tags quickly. I got on the net and mostly just found ads that sell products which consist of "simple organic ingredients". Is there something that works? I, somehow, doubt that garlic works.:smile: :smile:

Actually, I did that about a year or so ago. She just cut them off with a pair of scissors. I thought about getting rid of a few more with a pair of toenail clippers but the net seems to be loaded with many "home remedies" of apple cider, aspirin, ... you name it. I was wondering if anything worked.

simple works, my dearly departed granny taught us
the best way was to tie sewing thread around it's base.
tighten till it starts to hurt then knot it off
and clip the thread ends off. takes a few days, but
cutting off the blood supply simply turns it into dead
tissue and it'll fall off,,,

Skin Tag (Acrochordon)

I went to the dermatologist to remove skin tags
in the neck area.

As he is snipping away, I said, "What is the
difference between YOU snipping them and me
getting some scissors and snipping them?"

He said, "Thirty five dollars each."

Since then, I just snip them young :-)

Now as to garlic, some neighbor told me to
tape a piece of (cut side down) garlic to
a wart-like thingy on my foot for 2 weeks.
Uh huh.
But I did.
Dang if it didn't work.
When I pulled it off, the thingy went with.

I have cut up enough garlic to know it can
burn your hands, I assume it was this same
effect.

Mine were only $25 apiece ... plus the office visit. I thought the garlic idea was silly, but maybe not.:smile:

Maybe mine are different from other's but they are too small to tie string around. They are only about a sixteenth of an inch in diameter and not very long.

Thread or dental floss...just tie it up, and be patient. It'll fall off, just like a pup's tail.

Tea tree oil. Skin tags are actually a very mild fungus. Apply it directly on it. Spray some colloidal silver on it also.

Tying a string around a pups tail will result in gangrene of the dogs tail and require emergency surgery and if you can not prove you did not do it a cruelty to animals charge in most states.

Using non-sterile instruments or threads to remove skin tags can result in skin infections and nasty scars.

Often when they are removed, without dermalogic freezing they grow back.

I don't want to post on here because. it is a dating site and I don't want people to think I have skin tags.. but I do have a rather pea-size mole on my back I would love to get rid of... small P very small.. can I just whack it off. put a bandaid on it could it be that simple.. rap dental floss around it. as if to choke it.. and just pull really hard till it gets cut off are pops off..hmm.. oh yes I was never here by the way...
