Thread: So... anyone ever slice off a skin tag?

A month or so in now... and it seems to be going well... stropping technique seems adequate... (though I've got a replacement leather coming because of nicks) but for the most part, as far as shaves, I've been relatively bloodless.... every once in a while, in the same place on my neck... I'd 'catch'... I finally figured it out... it's a freaking small skin tag... I think I've about got it 'leveled off!" I'm fair skinned, (and overweight) so I'm pretty prone... especially around my neck where my tshirt 'rubs'..... Anyone else have that issue?

I haven't sliced off a skin tag but I do mow off an occasional pimple. As for your skin tag I would suggest that you have a doctor look at it for possible skin cancer and have it removed.

I have a couple old man creases on my neck that get snagged once in a while. Its just part of the game and I pay more attention when I get to that area.

Yes, that's happened to me before. It bled for a while, but I think I'm better off for it being gone (not that I'd do that purposefully to any of the other skin tags).

I've seen a doctor about them, and in my case there is no chance of cancer. He actually suggested that if I wanted to have them removed, the easiest way is to tie a thread around them, and they'll fall off within a couple of days. Haven't tried it yet, as I don't want to walk around with threads tied to my neck....
