DIY Skin Tag Removal

2 replies

I have some irritating skin tags around my knicker line that have bothered me for years. Can anyone recommend the best way to remove them at home?
I am embarrassingly squeamish. I bought a cryotag kit a year or so ago and the whole process made me feel faint. There’s no way I could cut them off with scissors. Are the bands effective? More so than tying thread around them?
Thanks for any advice

Yes the bands are effective, but if you're a bit squeamish then could you get someone else to do it for you? You could get some emla cream on to numb it first and then could pretend that it isn't part of you when doing it if you can't feel it?

Thank you, I think these are my best bet. I don’t have anyone to ask unfortunately as I’ve only been with my boyfriend 6 months and won’t want to scare him off just yet. And it’s too big an ask of any of my friends. Will just have to put on my big girl pants and give it a go.
