Skin tags

I’ve had a few tiny skin tags come up in my armpit and they’re really irritating. Obviously I can’t get at them one-handed to tie them off with anything, has anyone managed to get rid of tags any other way please?

Never done it any other way. I would stick with the string and maybe ask someone else for a hand?!

The wart freeze stuff can work

You can get rubber band kit from eBay for skin tags, it is easy to use. I shaved one of mine accidentally. Luckily it did not hurt and I applied after shave Balm on it so no infection either. Some people suggest to just cut it with scissors, though I will never have courage to do that ever.

My DH cut mine off with a scalpel (he has everything in his shed)! I pulled them taut with a sour of tweezers abs he cut them off; stung for the tiniest second but I do recommend you don't watch Confused
