Skin tags - how to remove?

[Lottapianos]

I have some small skin tags on my neck just above my collarbone. They're horrible and I would love to get rid of them. Anything people can recommend over the counter? I have both glycolic and salicylic acid if either of them would work. Ta

Cryotag skin tag remover - you can buy over the counter for about £20.
It does work, I've used it recently, it takes a few days after application to drop off.

If they have stalks, tie cotton tightly around their bases. They soon fall off. If they don't, quite a few beauticians can deal with them.

I have a couple too in the same place. I hate them! Following this thread.

I did the cotton thread method.

When I lost weight they also disappeared of their own accord.

How can you be sure that they aren’t moles?

I've tried everything over the counter, didn't work. In the end there was a local beautician offering cryotherapy at a reasonable price.

I snipped one off with nail scissors 😂

The skin tags i had look nothing like moles.

Very brave! Was that horribly painful and did they bleed a lot?

Skin tags look absolutely nothing like moles.

I have also snipped them off with scissors. They do bleed but got rid of them easy. I soaked the nail scissors in boiling water first.

I had one under my eye and wrapped cotton round it during covid/ lockdown. It took a few days to fall off. It's never come back.

Cotton like others have said

I got a little device from Amazon that puts a tiny elastic band round them, and they die and fall off on their own. It stings a little at first, but it works every time, and it was less than a tenner for about 20 bands and the device.

Yep I did this with dental floss

Emla cream to numb the area and nail scissors that I sterilize first to snip them
I have a pair that just have a side section so it is easier to angle them

I get loads of them all over my neck, a few around but not on my breast's and one under my armpit that I cannot reach or I would have removed it by now, some don't bleed and some need to have pressure for a good 5 minutes before they stop

this is what I use

I’ve had some done at a local salon, cyropen, they used the cyropen on each one and they went like a scab and dropped off after about 2 weeks. It was £40 for all of them, I had about 10. Feel a lot happier with them gone! would definitely recommend x

I used this. It stings a bit just before they drop off but it really works.

Yes! This is amazing and you can't tie cotton as tightly as this device, works really well

I did this too! Disinfected the skin and scissors with surgical spirit and snipped them off. Job done

I went to a local beautician and she was very well trained and knowledgeable about what was a tag, a mole or what a doctor should look at. It was £50 and well worth it as she did loads.
I felt so much better afterwards.
I tried the cryptag stuff you do yourself and don't bother. Probably ok if you only have one or two.

Everyone has given answers to removing so I just wanted to flag that skin tags around the neck crease/collarbone can be a sign of diabetes or insulin intolerance so if you have any risk factors or other symptoms it's worth getting checked out.

I got them burnt off at a skin clinic. It was actually quite painful but over really quickly and they’ve never returned. I am really glad I did it.

I had a small one on my neck.
My DS snipped it off with nail scissors
No bleeding and no return
