Skin tags are small growths that can look like little flaps of skin or like a small ball attached to the skin by a stalk. Skin tags are not dangerous to your health, but they can be a nuisance. Skin tags are most likely to be found on your neck, under your breast, under your armpit, on your eyelid, or in your groin area. Skin tags can appear just about anywhere on your skin although most common on the neck, I’ve even seen them appear on peoples eyelids, but have no fear – regardless of where your skin tag is located I will show you how to remove skin tags yourself, obviously keep in that this is no substitute for medical advice and you should awlays consult a doctor if you are unsure. Also, for skin tags located in sensitive locations like the eye lid or privates keep extra care not to aggravate the surrounding area.

You’re thinking “I want to know how to remove skin tags yourself” .. Some healthcare professionals would have you believe that skin tags should only be removed by a doctor. A doctor will either freeze, burn, or cut a skin tag off to remove it. They will remove it right in their office. My mother had one removed on her chest and all the doctor did was attach a pair of tweezers to it, pull it out tight, and cut it off with a small pair of scissors. After he did that he told her that she could easily remove any others she may get by doing the same thing herself.

So, how to remove skin tags yourself? I believe that most skin tags are easily removed at home. I would not recommend removing a skin tag near your eye by yourself though. I am sure that others have done so successfully, but I would not be comfortable in doing it myself.

There are other methods of skin tag removal that you can do at home besides cutting them off some of these removals involve:

-fingernail polish

-string or dental floss

-castor oil and baking soda

-wart removal solutions – self explanatory, if you have some lying around this may do the trick

I am a person who likes instant gratification.  I would not want to go around for one or two weeks with fingernail polish painted on my skin, a string tied to me, or with solutions pasted on me. I prefer the quick method of putting duct tape on the skin tag, this causes a rejection in the body and forces the body to rid itself of the tag. As for the castor oil technique I recommend you take some castor oil, asprin and baking soda and disolve them all into water then apply the mixture to the affected area. Lastly I’ve heard good things about bermuda grass being effective, if you can find it- make it into a fine paste then apply it to the affected area and cover in duct tape and/or a bandaid. So that’s how to remove skin tags yourself! For exact step by step specifics on how to remove skin tags yourself I recommend the guide below
