Skin tag removal at home: are there safe remedies?

Have you ever been embarrassed by an ugly, visible skin tag? Wondering if you could remove the skin tag at home to avoid cost, time, and embarrassment? There are many ways to do this.

Some remedies for removing skin tags involve the application of chemicals that burn the skin. Others say to tie a floss or dental floss around the base of the tag, cutting off the blood flow until it falls off. Still others say to cut it after holding an ice cube for pain relief.

While all of these methods will probably work, one thing to always remember is to keep it clean and use sanitary measures during whatever process you use.

One good thing about skin tags is that they generally don’t turn cancerous. They are just not very attractive and can become irritated, especially around the neck area. Other places where they tend to be irritating is where the skin rubs and causes friction on the tag, such as between the thighs, armpits, or around the anus. Another point is to have them around the waist, which can also be a nuisance.

One of the best ways I have found is to cut the thing with a nail clipper. At first, you think this will hurt like hell, and then what about the bleeding? Well, I had the same fears. I had heard that bleeding is hard to stop. The instructions I followed eliminated both fears.

Be sure to follow good detailed instructions, especially those that reinforce being completely hygienic throughout the entire process to avoid infection. Just have a positive attitude and a steady hand.

My skin tags are gone and have not grown back, another fear I had. If I had known it would be that easy, I certainly would have done it sooner and would not have endured the embarrassment of all these years.
