Skin Tags--Advice Please

How big are they? I have had success with putting alcohol on it, let it dry, put a layer of clear nail polish on it 2 times a day till they dry up and go away. I learned this on these boards and it works good on smaller ones. If its a large one you may have to see a dermatologist and have it removed.

Skin tags can be a distinct warning sign for type 2 maturity oncet diabetes. Ask your doctor for a glucose insulin tolerance test. Even if it doesn't run in your family skin tags sometimes indicate a higher risk for you.

Surprised to see the above. Almost everyone I know has them once they reach a certain age along with a lot of other strange looking bumps that have no heads.

I freeze them off with something I bought off the shelf, I think it is a Dr. Scholl's product, but it is easily available.

I tie sewing thread around them, which cuts off the circulation, so they dry up and fall off usually within 24 hours.

Try Compound W wart remover (or the generic). Just paint it on. That has worked best for me. Also have tried clear nail polish, but that takes longer and makes you all itchy and red.

I would go to a Dermatologist and have them removed, plus let them look at them, just to be safe. I have had this done, and unfortunately, they grow back!

Clear nail polish does the trick for me.
