Skin tag removal prices.

[HermiioneSnape02]

Has anyone had these removed by a clinic? I'm in Birmingham and have been quoted £39 each skin tag. I have quite a few in both arm pits. Seems quite expensive to me.
I have asked my gp. But have been refused as they aren't causing a problem, just for cosmetic reasons.

Bloody hell. I've had mine done twice on my neck. - usually tiny ones but I get tons quite a few. Both times the doctor did them. Could you claim they're painful as you catch them?

Can you try trying cotton thread around them first (maybe with some help!) and strangling the little blighters?

Mine were burned off. Smells a bit 😐

If they are small, you can freeze them with an ice cube to numb them and snip them off. Don't forget to freeze them though or it hurts more than you could imagine!

Or Emla cream?

I don't fancy snipping them. I'm a coward lol.
The string would work. But I have loads. I'd have an arm pit full of cotton

The Emla cream is an anaesthetic cream so you could put that on, wait for it take effect then get someone else to do the snipping while you're blindfolded .

Ooh that might work margo I'll have a look at it. Love the name btw.

Snipping is a bit of a leap of faith as to whether it's numb!

I know soup

If you didn't want an armpit full of cotton you could do them a few at a time? I used dental floss - it's strong and easy to tie tightly. Mine dropped off in a few days.

Tell the GP that they are getting sore as the skin rubs against them.
I had one removed from bra strap area as the strap was rubbing on it, making it sore.

You could try Bazuka gel for verrucas if you're feeling brave. The skin tags turn black and then fall off but it does sting a bit.

Amazon sell kits to remove them.

I have removed a couple with nail clippers. No probs at all.

Thora I think I've tried Bazuka before but it didn't work - maybe I got the wrong one, maybe it wasn't the verucca one, I'll have to check. I would love to just be able to put a cream on and have it work! :)

I took the worst offender off with cotton, but it took about a week and was pretty embarrassing asking my mum to tie the cotton around - definitely can't bend that way myself!

Use a hair from your head,will turn black and drop off in a couple of days!

I think I'm going to try the cotton or floss thing first like you've said maybe a couple at a time. Some are tiny so I'll go for the big buggers first.
I'm really feeling sick at the thought of cutting them off

Try apple cider vinegar. I think the trick is to scratch the surface very lightly (with a cocktail stick for example) and then apply the vinegar on cotton wool every day.

I'm not having you on - my mum tried it on quite a big one on her face after I read about it (on MN). It took a couple of weeks but went dark and a bit scabby and then came off nice and cleanly.
