Skin tag removals help!

[Soontobe60]

I had some skin tags removed a long time ago in the NHS and now have more that need removing as they catch on my bra and are very unsightly. However, I can't now get them done on the NHS.
Where would be the best place to go?

I tie some cotton thread around mine and wait for them to dry up and fall off. Make sure the thread is clean.

I got some numbing cream from the chemist, numbed the tags and then cut them off with a razor blade. Put a plaster on for a few days - gone.

I pay to have them burnt off.

I use vitamin e capsules. Pierce them and rub a little on each day. Mine usually disappear in a couple of weeks.

With a razor blade??. 😱😱😱
Where would I go to have them burned off?

I went to my local sk;in clinic, and they used the same cryo machines that GPs surgeries used to have. It took seconds. I have also had them tied off.

I’ve got one too which grew when I was pregnant and I hate it. GP won’t do anything as it is cosmetic. How tight do you have to tie the thread and does it hurt? Razor blade sounds too extreme for me!

You can buy kits on Amazon where the applicator puts a small elastic band type thing round them. which cuts off the blood supply, and then after a few days they turn black and drop off. Cost about £12 and doesn't grow back. Painless as well.

I cut mine off with scissors, sterlized, sharp scissors.

Oh my word!!!! Just reading these responses!

I just snip mine off with nail Clippers and pop a plaster on.

You can buy patches that look like the coldsore ones, I'll see if I can link

Hmmm those patches are not exactly getting rave reviews. I'm pretty sure I saw some kits for sale in boots, like the ones Maxie described above. Behind the counter.

I have a couple on my eyelid. Not sure i want to take a razor to those!

Would that be one for the professionals?

My husband had a tiny one on his eye lid, I put a bit of thread around it on a Friday evening and by Monday it was just about ready to drop off. So easy.

Ooh! Might be worth a try.

Just make sure the cotton/thread is clean. It might sting a bit when the knot is tied but then it'll be fine.

Tea tree oil! I could hardly believe it myself.
Apply tea tree oil twice a day, takes about 2 -3weeks of consistency and they fall off.

Buy something called 'Tag Bands' from Amazon. I have used them on big and small tags (you get different sized bands).
Completely painless and works within a week at the most.
Wish I had found them years ago.

I used a product I bought on Amazon called Cryotag, my skin tag (also on my bar-line) fell off after a week and you can't even see where it was. I used to go to a beauty clinic but it cost a fortune!

Dental floss is nice and clean and stays pulled tight when you knot it.

I twizzle them around as much as I can stand (it is quite painful when at maximum turn) and repeat a couple of time. That seems to cut off the blood supply and then they dry up and drop off a couple of days later.
