Thread: Skin tags!

The bane of my existence. Skin tags, it's been a while since I've posted and since I've shaved too because of skin tags! I kept cutting them while shaving so I had them frozen off at the doc's. I also had a mole frozen on my left side burn that I kept cutting. On another note I should have some restoration photos soon.

I get the occasional skin tag as well. I just cut em off

Restoring skin tags and moles sounds like an interesting hobby. Good luck with that.

I freaked out after one or two rounds of basal cell skin cancers; had everything removed - walked around like an itchy band-aid collection for a week or two but none came back. That and using square point razor pretty much stripped off anything that protruded.

I have a few skin tags. I tie dental floss tightly at base of tag and it dries up and falls off in a few days.

Find a buddy with a lab job and get free access to liquid nitrogen. A q-tip, plus dip, plus apply. Nice and free and easy. I've burned a few things off myself with nitrogen. It's really not rocket science.

I know it don't like fun but the straight razor properly sharpened takes them off cleanly , a little nesporin and its done ,, ive never used my straights but it bond to be sharper than the knife I used on one, but here in the oilfield we do most repairs with duct tape and superglue so you might not want my advice tc

A can of "Air" works also if you turn it upside down.

Canned air usually has a "bitterant" in it to discourage abuse. When you get it on your hands, etc. and then touch your lips, face, food, etc. It is pretty nasty...

Well I had my first shave again while the wounds were mostly gone and I think I may have been a bit pre-mature and have managed to get them bleeding again The trouble is with these ones, even if I do cut them off (frequently) they grow back!

This is why I went to the doctor. Also with our healthcare in Australia, I pay nothing for the visit.

I am ghetto and cut them off with nail clippers. I was the kid who ripped out my own warts as well though...god I hated warts. I have removed some that do come back but the second go round I cut even deeper. Thankfully, I don't get many skin tags and, when I do, SWMBO always points them out to call me an old man. The worst was a small one on my eyelid; that was a bleeder. Don't use your razor to remove skin tags on purpose. Sure my razor is sharp enough to open my can of snuff well, but doesn't mean I should use it for that.
