How can I safely remove Skin tags at home?:confused:

Hey, I found this through Google search:

Skin tags can be irritating and unattractive, especially when they seem to pop up continuously. Making frequent trips to a physician to remove skin tags can be just as irritating. Fortunately, there are a few different ways that you can remove skin tags from the comfort of your own home.

Before you attempt to remove skin tags, you should be completely certain that you are in fact dealing with skin tags, rather than a more serious growth. A skin tag is very small and grows slowly, never reaching a size greater than ½ inch (1.27cm). The skin tag may appear to be a flap of skin or a small round mass attached to the skin by a peduncle or stalk. The skin tag should be soft and movable, with a pigmentation that is similar to the rest of your skin or slightly darker.

Once you have established what you are dealing with, You can begin to remove skin tags. One way to do this is to tie a piece of thread or dental floss tightly around the base of the skin tag. Then, with thoroughly cleaned sharp scissors or a nail clipper, cut the skin tag off above the material that you tied around the base. Make sure that after you remove skin tags, you keep the areas clean with peroxide or antibacterial ointment until they are healed. This procedure is relatively painless and similar to the procedure that a doctor may perform. A skin tag should not appear again on the same site, but if it does, you should consult a physician.

Another method to remove skin tags that does not yield immediate results, but is far less intrusive, involves creating a mixture of castor oil and baking soda. Mix these two ingredients together to form a thick paste and apply it frequently, several times a day, to remove skin tags. Eventually, within two weeks, the skin tags will dry up and disappear.

Some people remove skin tags at home by applying solutions designed for wart removal. Some people find these products more effective to remove skin tags than to remove warts. There are also many over-the-counter products that are specifically designed to remove skin tags at home, but they are not as efficient as removing the skin tags simply by cutting them off.

I would go for the first method. Hope this helps.
