Does anyone know a good, safe way to get rid of skin tags?

Not really. They are fed with blood vessels and if you cut them off yourself they will bleed a lot. Really a lot. The only true safe way is for a dermatologist to remove them. However, this new stuff they have for warts, that is like a spray the "freezes" them, could be used on the tag and it will look burnt, but will dry up and eventually fall off in about two weeks.

To remeove skin tags you simply get a pair of nair clippers and clean them throughly with soap and alcohol. Then clean area to be  worked on. Take clippers and simply clip off the skin tag. I had many ot them and thought they were ugly. Now I have none and they never came back. They were on my neck and even on my torso. The only bleed a very little bit and leave no scar at all. Just make sure you only clip the tag part and not your skin. Get someone to help if you have trouble seeing well. Good luck to you and I hope your skin looks as good as mine does. As usual, please do not do anything of a medical nature without the advice of your doctor as they are the best to asvise you on all things medical.

simple solution, always works for me, get a CLEAN flannel, put in hot water, with NO soap or anything else on it, just water, and wash face, and pat dry with a clean dry towel. \np.s. wash your hands before bed aswell, because you may touch your face in the night, and spread germs. \nhope this helps xx

A dermatologist will freeze it then if necessary cauterize(burn) it.\nYou can do this at home by buying a wart removing medicine that freezes the skin.  After following the directions on the package for about 1-2 weeks you will notice that the "tag" will fall off then your skin heals over time.  You can also burn it off by going to the same wart removing isle in the pharmacy and buying Salicylic acid. This is the stuff that is used in acne medicine but acne medicine has very little percent per volume. Buy the real stuff, it's available over the counter in the wart removing section and dab a little bit on each skin tag. Follow the directions as noted in the package and you will notice that the skin tags will fall off and the skin will heal after a while.

I have the same problem. I suggest that you go see a dermatolgist. Or use a mild none perfumed soap. Safegurard is one soap you could use.

Since giving out medical advice is beyond my scope of practice and they can take away my license I can only give you some general info.\n\nIf you went to your family MD he/she might use a surgical suture (a string if you will) and tie a knot around the skin tag. Suture stays on until tag falls off.  The suture/knot is very tight and cuts off the flow of blood to the skin.  I have seen people who have literally pulled them out (very small skin tags) and they bleed. However the bleeding does stop. Hurts.\n  If you have a lot of them you may want to consult your MD anyhow. Are you sure they are skin tags, any discoloration, size, shape changes.

I use Goo Gone and then just take a scraper and scrape it off.  Add some rubbing alcohol if that fails.

It's a skin tag. Visit a friendly dermatologist to have it removed. And for the love of all that is holy, don't pop it...

Skin tags are caused from repeated friction on the skin, mostly skin rubbing skin.  They are commonly found in the neck area and under the arms.  Most are harmless and can be easily removed by your doctor by either freezing them off or snipping them off.

Every night, rub this mixture over your stretch marks. \n6. This will gradually lighten the marks. \n7. If you want to remove the marks completely, you would have to go in for microdermabrasion.

Exfoliating is the answer. There are scrubs and mittens that do the trick. Speak to a dermatologist or speak to your pharmacist they can help. good luck :-)

I wouldn't be using wart stuff on skin tags too strong! I have them too!I did have the D.A cut them off with a tiny pair of scissors doesn't hurt at all..she also told me she trims hers off by herself with scissors! She said I can do the same...sure it bleeds a bit but it can be done!!

Have the dermatologist cut them off or freeze them off.\n\nFYI, too many skin tags is a pre-sign of colon issues in the future, they are learning......so have your colon checked for polyps or cancer when you get older.
