This man ain’t bullshittin. I once had a skin tag on my neck for years. Eventually I got so fed up that I cut it off with a pair of nail clippers and started bleeding an ocean. I’m lucky that it didn’t get infected.
Same, had one on my shoulder and tried to remove it. Bled for a concerningly long time but I for whatever reason didn’t bother to tell anyone. It came back later and was the size of a larger than average pea. Not fun :)
Damn! Same happened with me, except it was on the front of my armpit and I didn’t actually cut it off, I just nipped it and it hurt bad so I left it haha. Next day it was completely black, I was like oh jeez, I left it and that afternoon noticed it was gone. Guess it turned necrotic and just fell of on its own 😂
sameee but i didnt pull it off. I have a skin tag on my neck I've had since I have no idea how long I tried to pull it off one time and it didn't work at all it just hurt lol
Problem is that skin tag removal is usually considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance. They were going to charge me “starting” $200 per skin tag at my old doctor. I removed them my twisting it, little by litter for about a week, until it’s blood supply was stopped and it fell off on its own. Hurt when it got super tight, but the pain went away after the nerves for it was gone. It was much cheaper than the alternative.

i used to have one on my back that was itchy very often when i was a teen. One night it was super itchy so i jsut scratched my back half asleep. But about just one minute later i moved and felt my back wet. That woke me up immediatelly, took off my shirt to find out a huge bloody stain on it. I panicked and woke my mom. Thanksfully she calmed me down and put a bandaid on it. It healed up fast without any issues, but holy hell the crazy amount of blood from one tiny skin tag was very unexpected lmao
@@theastonvillaseal585 you can know what you want, but this happened to me the way i described. Im too much of a whimp to intentionally rip it off lmao
Here's an at home tip! If the skin tag is big or loose enought, grab yourself a string of dental floss. Tie it close to the skin around the skin tag (if it's on your arm it helps to have a friend do this) and square knot (double knot) it. Pull it as tight as you can. It'll feel weird for an hour or so, but you'll start to notice something. First, it will turn purple, then brown, then black. Within a week, you would have suffocated the skin tag. The veins and nerves shut down within the skin tag due to a lack of blood flow. Once it turns black, it will either fall off on its own, or easily pop off with a gentle tug with no blood!
@@TheKillerman3333 After it was frozen, you failed the test again rewatch the video he clearly says "a doctor can freeze it then remove it" It's like you didn't even watch the less than a minute short is your attention span really that bad?

Skin tags are usually caused by poor diet and poor lifestyle choices. They have a connection to metabolic disease. You could research how to get metabolically healthy here on UA-cam. There are milder channels like Dr. Berg, and there are more "extreme" channels like Dr. Ken Berry, or even really extreme like Dr. Anthony Chaffee. Any one of those channels would give you the building blocks that you need to start correcting your metabolic disease...
@@khutchinsoncpa1 That does not align with what I've learned. A metabolically healthy woman, who exercises and avoids carbohydrates would not have any skin tags or problems like that during pregnancy or menopause. Not to mention, hormone imbalances are a consequence of being metabolically unhealthy... So, it just doesn't follow in my mind that these two can exist at the same time. Maybe some people think they are living healthy, but are misguided.... Skin tags are your sign that you aren't living a healthy lifestyle.
Alternatively you can tie some thread around it tightly, cutting off the circulation and it's drops off after some time. I did this years ago, works fine
They don’t recommend string because it also can cause bacteria growth and in some cases amputation. - cotton string for example can be very deadly. Babies who get hair wrapped around them can have amputations of fingers toes or limbs - adults can get gangrene etc They have plastic skin tag bands that can be stretched a bit then put overtop the area then snap closed on the base of the skin tag because it’s antibacterial/microbial it tends to be a healthier option which has less risk of other issues. Altho it’s still recommended to go to a doctor rather then amazon purchases. As some skin tags may be cancer.
Also as long as it isn’t super big you can dab some Apple Cider Vinegar on a cotton ball and tape it to it for a few hours and it will eat it off. Cool trick I done on one I had and it hasn’t came back since.

In the US it costs hundreds to get them removed In the UK the GP WONT remove the skin tag, instead they will tell you to wrap a horses hair around it tight and it will just fall off on its own. Alternatively you can pull it off with tweezers while biting a flannel.
wrong, in america we just rip them off as well we just dont care to comment on other countries shyt healthcare systems. remember save the NHS stay home lol
@@smugdarklydon't act like other healthcare systems aren't also a scam but paid by your taxes. I'm in Canada, my friend waited 5 hours in the ER with a fractured ankle with nothing for the pain, and after years of dicking around being told by chronic limb and back pains were just growing pains, I'm finally on a waiting list to see a rheumatologist.
As someone who has ripped a skin tag off of their leg once, you will need several hundred band aids to stop it bleeding for a few seconds, and that’s only a slight exaggeration
"Some people _think_ you can just rip them off." Buddy, if I have to spend the time and money to go to a doctor versus ripping it off myself and dealing with a little pain for a bit...it's getting ripped off.
In some countries it's actually free 😅 My family member removed a lot of them like that, totally for free. It's also painful, but there is no open wound and the skin heals within about 1.5-2 weeks. If someone can do it like that I think I actually recommend it, especially if you take blood thinning medicine. With the brute force itself, that wouldn't be possible.
I’ve actually tried to rip mine off multiple times. It always fails. I’ve tried biting, scratching, and everything else besides things that can put me in danger to get it off. Nothing worked so I just gave up.
@@tylerkudo Combat hardened ex-military? Trauma hardened here. Too many people afraid of a moment of pain. I ain't wasting a drive to the doctor for a three minute task I can do myself. ;)
I had a parrot on my shoulder peck one off my neck. I didn’t feel anything and I don’t remember much bleeding and there’s no scar left behind. Thank you parrot..
If no one has tried this yet, try it now!! Tie a string around it and make it tight so that the blood circulation stops going to the skin tag leave it on for a few days and it will drop off on its own. Cut off the ends of the string so it doesn’t bother you. I have done this many times.
My parents used to do this and so have I. I’m usually not patient enough to wait a few days and I end up cutting it off. Had no problems using this method!
I've done this to a big one I had on my hip it hurt when I tied it off, turned black, and basically looked like a raisin it didn't fall tho so I ended up cutting it off with scissors. I have a pretty big scar in that area now but eh it worked
I've done that and then a cosmetologist told me not to do that again in case it's a harmful growth? Idk tho, I am top lazy to get a doctor's appt for this.
Person who had a skin tag and pulled it off here. Had a skin tag located right below my eye, now i dont know how common this, but i left it alone for years. It did grow in size, however, eventually i noticed it hanging off a little. I pulled the skin tag of, minimal bleeding, no infection, im perfectly fine. I dont know how often it is that they just yk FALL off, but this is my story.
mine did lmao. ripped it off once, bled a lot and a came back a little bigger. ripped it off twice and it was WAY bigger and I could actually see the blood vessels a bit. had to get a doctor to remove it and needed stitches. Please don’t remove skin tags yourself.
@@AcademicJaedon I am not a professional, but that is potentially a worse idea. You know how fingers or limbs that have been frozen too badly have to be removed? That's because dead tissue spreads. Killing the tissue yourself is similar to that, and you can get yourself in even bigger trouble than if you just tried to remove it.
@@manunova5929mine was removed by taking a really thin wire and tying it around the skin tag. It fell off in like a couple days and haven't had an issue since
I did it with a stick that has ant venom inside. You can get it in any pharmacy. Daily put some stuff on the tag and after 2 weeks it simply shrivels down and falls off. Is not painful (atleast for me).
In India , we use horse tail hair( single hair ) to tie that particular area tightly and let it free after some hours the skin tag will automatically die because of zero blood flow to the skin tag then we can pick it up… It helps to avoid lot of pain and blood loss .. hope it’ll help 😊
@@richardchambers256if you don't have horse hair, you can go for long human hair and tie it tightly. I did the same with my mom's hair and it got removed within 2-3 weeks and after that it didn't even grow. It's been around 6 years till now.
For everyone here unaware, you can do this at home with an at-home freeze kit. They sell them at CVS for cheap, typically they are used to remove warts, but can also be used for this purpose.
Used canned air. Flip the can upside down spray very very lightly and you get a flash freezing liquid. If you're careful you can drip it onto a Trip or on the tag itself. Then wait a few days for it to fall off. The stuff is dangerous so be careful.
PLZZ i had one on my nose and since pakistan is a country still stuck in the past the tried to burn it off with wire cutter or something (SHIT HURT LIKE HELL) but the skin tag itself doesnt hurt and the liquid nitrogen thing just feels like you got pinched (a really cold pinch)
Ripping it off: Small chance of a light infection A tiny pinch of pain Going to the doctor to freeze it off: Have to drive all the way to the hospital Gotta pay for the gas Lose at least 20 minutes of your life Gotta wait to be admitted Stupidly long process Have to pay for it (if you’re American)
Once I got skin tags, I ripped them off and bleed.... That blood was Infectious and causes more skin tags.... I was so worried.... And that itch they were causing was unbearable.... But one day i accidentally found a tube that help me remove those skin tags within 4-5 days without any pain... I was using that tube just to minimize itching but that was miracle and i got cured 👏👏
I had a small skin tag develope on the center of one of my eyelids. It was difficult to apply and remove makeup because it was sensitive. I took a hair from my head and tied it tightly around the base of the skin tag, which cut off the blood supply, and within a week it was dead and I snipped it off at the base and it never came back.
Works good with some cotton or dental floss, too. 😊 But you have to make sure it's really tight. Otherwise, blood can still get through and could swell up.
don't rip it out, just tie some dental floss around it tight and wait a few days. it'll shrivel up, start turning black, and then fall off. make sure it remains clean and sterile. by the time it falls off, the skin underneath should have already healed and all you'll have left is a tiny scar this isn't substantially dangerous, there are products you can find in the medicine isle that'll do essentially the same thing except with tiny elastic o rings instead.
I think I had one on my neck since childhood, though I never knew what it was called. Last year my aunt told my mom to tie a strand of hair around it to slowly cut off the blood flow into it until it fell off by itself
Actually a bandaid wouldn't do much for a slight deep wound, just put some Isopropyl Alcohol on it to get rid of germs and then triple antibiotic ointment so its hard for germs to get in, then you can out your bandaid or whatever-
My doctor just told me to get the wart remover, since it's basically the same thing doctors do with freezing. Depending on your insurance it might be cheaper too, as removal of skin tags could be considered cosmetic and not covered.
. They have tiny bands that cut off the circulation so they die off or like the other comment said you use wart remover because it's the same thing as freezing it
A skin tag, or acrochordon, is a small benign tumor that forms primarily in areas where the skin forms creases, such as the neck, armpit and groin. They may also occur on the face, usually on the eyelids. Though tags up to 13 mm long have been seen, they are typically the size of a grain of rice.
Lol. Had warts on my knees when I was a kid. Doctors froze them but they came right back. So old fashioned way. Heated up a paper clip over a candle and burned them down
@NoName-yz7dw in the US skin tag removal costs between $100-$2000 on top of the $75-$200 doctor consultation just to have a doctor look at it. And insurance does not cover the cost unless it's life threatening.
This is how I was told to remove them Tie a bit of string in the skin tag (this is to cut off blood flow) after a while, it eventually falls off. Doesn't really hurt, just might feel weird because you feel the string around it, but you get used to it a bit after a bit. Mom did that for me once, and off it went after a while. Which was surprising bc I genuinely thought she was just tricking me or something
yes this is how i got mine removed i once had one on my neck and my dad secretly tied my own hair strand i know it sounds weird but we didn't have any strings and after like 2 days it fell off
Tip for people that don’t wanna rip it off and don’t want to spend 1000$, tie a knot around it with floss or any other thin string and slowly tighten it over time. The skin tag will die due to lack of blood flow and fall off naturally. I’ve done this three times before so I know it works! depending on how big it is it might take a week or more so I would use a bandaid to cover up the string. (One of mine was on my belly and was naturally covered on my shirt but the other was on my neck, so I covered it up) plus it’ll keep the knot from slipping off.
When I was child the older people told us to tie the skin tag with our own hair strands, we shouldn't tie with any other threads or strings. It will fall after some weeks or a month.
@@estherrani9838 I guess hair could work but any kind of thread is fine don’t worry. And ya it’ll fall off in a week to a month depending on how big it is!
hair strands is what you should use. It's thin and strong. You're strangulating the tag out of existence. Your method works great! You make one knot to strangle the tag and a second one to secure the first one. Cut off the excess hair and it'll stay secure till it falls off.
I would like to put forward the third option; get some tough, but fine string and make a tiny locking noose knot. Get it around the base of the skin tag as tight as you can, and twice a day make sure it’s still tight as possible. It’ll sting a bit, but if the tag isn’t huge it’ll cut off the blood circulation like a tourniquet and will come off with very little blood in roughly a week.
I bought a kit that works on the same principle, but it's a tiny tiny rubber band instead that tightens on its own so you don't have to. Worked like a charm.
You can also use the band technique where you take a small elastic band and put it on the skin tag, eventually it will turn black and fall off. Worked multiple times for me with no issues of new skin tags.
Kinda sad how healthcare doesn't have the best affordable intentions in mind. just profit. Maybe some doctors want to genuinely help but they cant just tell you to leave the hospital and rubber band it yourself for free. Crappy system
I treated a skin tag myself. I worked in electronics troubleshooting and repair, and I had an aerosol freezer, which could be directed at a component to see if it would change its behaviour. When directed at anything, it would freeze that thing to about minus-30 degrees, so when I had a skin tag under my arm, I froze it with the aerosol. It went white with frost for a couple of minutes (which killed it), then it fell off after a couple of weeks, without leaving a sore. It seemed already healed. HOWEVER - after a couple of years, it had grown back again - so I froze it off again - but again, it only lasted a couple of years - so now, I just tolerate it.
I found out that skin tags are the result of skin touching skin on your body, or something else being almost constantly against it, constantly heating that area and irritating it. I have two that have formed on areas one, where I wear a strap connected to an apron at the job I work at, around the back of my neck, and another from an area where skin was against other skin, like under your underarms, so it must be true.🤷♀️
Believe in Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ was sinless and died for our sins, John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” God bless you.
You can actually tie them with a thread and leave it, the thread will prevent the blood from getting into the skin tag thus it will not get any supplies and it will just dry and fall off by itself after few days, btw this is not painful at all.
I had one. I didn't rip it off, I pulled it out and removed a small bit of surrounding tissue with an exacto. No scarring or severe bleeding... Plus it's free.
@@asenciolosangeles6778 Would probably do the same thing. I just used an exacto since it was a clean blade that I could sterilize in heat, and iodine for the handle.
So for those who can't afford this option of having it professionally removed, you can safely remove them by: A) take thread and make a looped knot and slowly pull the end of the thread to tighten around base of tag, very tight. Tie and knot to keep it in place. The thread, when tied tight enough, will choke off blood supply, and within a few days, tag will fall off without leaving open wound. B) Buy wart remover from drug store, the kind that freezes them off is preferred over the salicylic acid wart remover. It may take a few applications. This is NOT the same as the freezing used in doctors office. It's a different chemical and is much weaker. Make sure to aim the wart spray at the base of tag, but to avoid healthy skin as much as you can. Wart removers come with multiple applications. Good for removing 1-6 tags. If you have a lot more tags, it's better to use method A or go to doctor as wart remover can become costly per pack if you need a lot.
I've tried the string technique. It works very well. The only issue is many times you need another person to do it for you in hard to reach areas where you would only have one hand. Like your underarm!
I got one a couple of months ago. Spent 3 weeks slowly picking at it, taking a little flesh each time until it was finally gone. There was blood, but it was free.
@@Burryto_boymy grandma did this too. Don’t believe only men do this🤦♀️ and it can be dangerous (doesn’t have to be but it could have a dangerous aftermath)
Yeah you could just rip it off, apply pressure to help platelets form a clot, apply isopropyl alchohol to prevent infection, and then apply a bandage. All for what is likely considerably cheaper than getting it frozen off.
Healthcare is free in my country but I still did it myself. Many minor surgeries and procedures can be done on oneself in an emergency. Personally I just don't like strangers touching me while I'm conscious at least.
its just the same thing as wart remover spray. just buy that stuff if you insist on freezing it. tho I wouldnt be surprised if the salicetic acid is also viable strategy if you wait long enough with the stuff on.
@@josemontesdeocah u need to apply a fresh bandaid every night for a few days until it falls off. it does work. not my fault ur doing it wrong and expecting it to fall off on the first application
Exactly what I did, and it came out by itself, also make sure to sterilize the thread and put sterilized bandage on it to keep it clean in case it came off
@@thwahirmahammed4334 You might need someone to assist you. Get some string/hair, lift the skin tag up and tie the string at the base of the tag. Any sort of knot will do so long as it's secure. Make sure it tied tightly enough so you can feel it, but not so tight that it hurts. The string cuts off the blood flow and in about 3-7 days it'll fall off.
"Ripping it off would cause significant bleeding." Yes, like any other minor wound that comes in contact with blood vessels. So long as manageable bleeding is not a threat to your longevity (for some with conditions such as sickle cell anemia, it can be), you will be fine. Just hold a small tissue over the area and you won't have to worry. "The open wound would be susceptible to infection." Yes, just like any other open wound. If you disinfect the area and keep it clean, your chances of infection drastically decrease. You are perfectly fine to remove skin tags, yourself so long as you follow the proper precautions. I'd recommend removing it via wire shearing, simple cutting, or torsion. Wire shearing where you take a thin piece of wire-like material (such as floss), disinfect it, and wrap it around the base of the skin-tag while pulling until it shears the tag off. Torsion is where you spin it until it is taut back and forth until it tears off.
Dry ice usually isn't cold enough. You can use some over-the-counter wart freezing devices though. It might take a few sessions. The issue is freezing the entire tag or it's not going to work.
Depending on the size you could legit just grab it and pull it off with just a small amount of bleeding. The bigger ones will bleed more but you can stop bleeding pretty easily with pressure and deodorant. If it's really big you can tie a rubber band or string tightly around it, depriving it of blood until it falls off or you can just pull it off. I also recommend some anti-bacterial numbing spray you can get over the counter at CVS, not required but it helps and it's cheaper than a doctor's visit.
@@Cerioth exactly. My mom worked in the medical field and would remove them for family members free of charge. We would get a Q-tip, rub it on the deodorant, and then rub the Q-tip on the area after soaking up most of the blood.
Just tie it off with a silk thread or hair. Keep tightening it with new thread every few days until you don't feel any sensation in it. It will die and fall off naturally in a week or so.. or you can cut it off with a sanitized nail cutter after a week, and you should be absolutely fine. A doctor's visit will cost a lot. But the method I have described is tried, tested and safe.
@@r0s3_th0rnssGet a freezing pen, which is what the doc is useing in this video. Unless you like to spend $1000 and days worth of apts. It would take you 5min and like 20 bucks. You could prob even trip it off or cut it. A pea size cut isnt nothing
There is a old style of removing them that I heard from my grandma, you take a sewing thread and tie a small knot around it at the point where its connected to your skin. Tie it very tightly and loss of blood to the area should allow the area to die off and then you should tighten the tie more after a few days till the tag fully falls off

Here's an at home tip! If the skin tag is big or loose enought, grab yourself a string of dental floss. Tie it close to the skin around the skin tag (if it's on your arm it helps to have a friend do this) and square knot (double knot) it. Pull it as tight as you can.
It'll feel weird for an hour or so, but you'll start to notice something. First, it will turn purple, then brown, then black. Within a week, you would have suffocated the skin tag. The veins and nerves shut down within the skin tag due to a lack of blood flow. Once it turns black, it will either fall off on its own, or easily pop off with a gentle tug with no blood!
Careful with this some people can get infections

Skin tags are usually caused by poor diet and poor lifestyle choices.
They have a connection to metabolic disease.
You could research how to get metabolically healthy here on UA-cam. There are milder channels like Dr. Berg, and there are more "extreme" channels like Dr. Ken Berry, or even really extreme like Dr. Anthony Chaffee.
Any one of those channels would give you the building blocks that you need to start correcting your metabolic disease...
@speedyllama8380 Also hormone-related, so can be simply caused by pregnancy, perimenopause, etc. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
@@khutchinsoncpa1 That does not align with what I've learned.
A metabolically healthy woman, who exercises and avoids carbohydrates would not have any skin tags or problems like that during pregnancy or menopause.
Not to mention, hormone imbalances are a consequence of being metabolically unhealthy... So, it just doesn't follow in my mind that these two can exist at the same time.
Maybe some people think they are living healthy, but are misguided.... Skin tags are your sign that you aren't living a healthy lifestyle.
@@khutchinsoncpa1 metabolically healthy women don't even have hot flashes during menopause... They sail through menopause like it's a breeze.
I've had 1 in my whole life
Alternatively you can tie some thread around it tightly, cutting off the circulation and it's drops off after some time. I did this years ago, works fine
Yep me too...2nd time I used fine copper wire and it worked faster than thread.
if they’re small enough you can use finger nail clippers… it doesn’t hurt as bad as you think it might
They don’t recommend string because it also can cause bacteria growth and in some cases amputation. - cotton string for example can be very deadly. Babies who get hair wrapped around them can have amputations of fingers toes or limbs - adults can get gangrene etc
They have plastic skin tag bands that can be stretched a bit then put overtop the area then snap closed on the base of the skin tag because it’s antibacterial/microbial it tends to be a healthier option which has less risk of other issues. Altho it’s still recommended to go to a doctor rather then amazon purchases. As some skin tags may be cancer.
Also as long as it isn’t super big you can dab some Apple Cider Vinegar on a cotton ball and tape it to it for a few hours and it will eat it off. Cool trick I done on one I had and it hasn’t came back since.

Buddy, if I have to spend the time and money to go to a doctor versus ripping it off myself and dealing with a little pain for a bit...it's getting ripped off.
In some countries it's actually free 😅 My family member removed a lot of them like that, totally for free. It's also painful, but there is no open wound and the skin heals within about 1.5-2 weeks. If someone can do it like that I think I actually recommend it, especially if you take blood thinning medicine. With the brute force itself, that wouldn't be possible.
A not so little pain, a risk of infection... Yeah see for yourself chud
You can tie a hair strand around it to cut off blood circulation. It would die on its own and would fall off.

If no one has tried this yet, try it now!! Tie a string around it and make it tight so that the blood circulation stops going to the skin tag leave it on for a few days and it will drop off on its own. Cut off the ends of the string so it doesn’t bother you. I have done this many times.
For some reason this sounds less crazy than removing it with liquid nitrogen😂
My parents used to do this and so have I. I’m usually not patient enough to wait a few days and I end up cutting it off. Had no problems using this method!

Thats way easier said than done. Tried when I was 16 and got frustrated so I used a pocket knife. It didn't bleed that much.
I had a small skin tag develope on the center of one of my eyelids. It was difficult to apply and remove makeup because it was sensitive. I took a hair from my head and tied it tightly around the base of the skin tag, which cut off the blood supply, and within a week it was dead and I snipped it off at the base and it never came back.
Works good with some cotton or dental floss, too. 😊
But you have to make sure it's really tight. Otherwise, blood can still get through and could swell up.
Mine did that on its own lol 😂

don't rip it out, just tie some dental floss around it tight and wait a few days. it'll shrivel up, start turning black, and then fall off.
make sure it remains clean and sterile. by the time it falls off, the skin underneath should have already healed and all you'll have left is a tiny scar
this isn't substantially dangerous, there are products you can find in the medicine isle that'll do essentially the same thing except with tiny elastic o rings instead.

A skin tag, or acrochordon, is a small benign tumor that forms primarily in areas where the skin forms creases, such as the neck, armpit and groin. They may also occur on the face, usually on the eyelids. Though tags up to 13 mm long have been seen, they are typically the size of a grain of rice.
Doctors have a hard time convincing the public not to rip off the skin tag because nothing has ever happened to anyone when you do

This is how I was told to remove them
Tie a bit of string in the skin tag (this is to cut off blood flow) after a while, it eventually falls off. Doesn't really hurt, just might feel weird because you feel the string around it, but you get used to it a bit after a bit.
Mom did that for me once, and off it went after a while. Which was surprising bc I genuinely thought she was just tricking me or something
yes this is how i got mine removed i once had one on my neck and my dad secretly tied my own hair strand i know it sounds weird but we didn't have any strings and after like 2 days it fell off
Problem is I’m not going to have my 75 year old mom tie a string to the skin tag that’s on my taint 🤣
This is the same way that farmers dock lamb's tails... And balls...
Thanks for this. Got mine fall off 2 and half days. It was really tiny skin tag in my face tho.
Oralgel and fresh nail clippers. Never fails.
Tip for people that don’t wanna rip it off and don’t want to spend 1000$, tie a knot around it with floss or any other thin string and slowly tighten it over time. The skin tag will die due to lack of blood flow and fall off naturally. I’ve done this three times before so I know it works!
depending on how big it is it might take a week or more so I would use a bandaid to cover up the string. (One of mine was on my belly and was naturally covered on my shirt but the other was on my neck, so I covered it up) plus it’ll keep the knot from slipping off.
When I was child the older people told us to tie the skin tag with our own hair strands, we shouldn't tie with any other threads or strings. It will fall after some weeks or a month.
@@estherrani9838 I guess hair could work but any kind of thread is fine don’t worry. And ya it’ll fall off in a week to a month depending on how big it is!
hair strands is what you should use. It's thin and strong. You're strangulating the tag out of existence. Your method works great!
You make one knot to strangle the tag and a second one to secure the first one. Cut off the excess hair and it'll stay secure till it falls off.
Thank you!

I would like to put forward the third option; get some tough, but fine string and make a tiny locking noose knot. Get it around the base of the skin tag as tight as you can, and twice a day make sure it’s still tight as possible. It’ll sting a bit, but if the tag isn’t huge it’ll cut off the blood circulation like a tourniquet and will come off with very little blood in roughly a week.
I bought a kit that works on the same principle, but it's a tiny tiny rubber band instead that tightens on its own so you don't have to. Worked like a charm.
Dental floss is perfect for removing them
I have done this a couple of times but with my hair. works great, but it us a bit tricks to tie since the hair can break
Funnily enough, that’s how you castrate a goat…
That smart.
You can also use the band technique where you take a small elastic band and put it on the skin tag, eventually it will turn black and fall off. Worked multiple times for me with no issues of new skin tags.
My family always just used thick hair strands

I treated a skin tag myself. I worked in electronics troubleshooting and repair, and I had an aerosol freezer, which could be directed at a component to see if it would change its behaviour. When directed at anything, it would freeze that thing to about minus-30 degrees, so when I had a skin tag under my arm, I froze it with the aerosol. It went white with frost for a couple of minutes (which killed it), then it fell off after a couple of weeks, without leaving a sore. It seemed already healed. HOWEVER - after a couple of years, it had grown back again - so I froze it off again - but again, it only lasted a couple of years - so now, I just tolerate it.
actually kind of amazing how the body repairs itself so well, even if your mind doesn't like the skin tag

I found out that skin tags are the result of skin touching skin on your body, or something else being almost constantly against it, constantly heating that area and irritating it. I have two that have formed on areas one, where I wear a strap connected to an apron at the job I work at, around the back of my neck, and another from an area where skin was against other skin, like under your underarms, so it must be true.🤷♀️

@@Sliverstormcreations any scars or infection?
@@asenciolosangeles6778 Would probably do the same thing. I just used an exacto since it was a clean blade that I could sterilize in heat, and iodine for the handle.
So for those who can't afford this option of having it professionally removed, you can safely remove them by:
A) take thread and make a looped knot and slowly pull the end of the thread to tighten around base of tag, very tight. Tie and knot to keep it in place. The thread, when tied tight enough, will choke off blood supply, and within a few days, tag will fall off without leaving open wound.
B) Buy wart remover from drug store, the kind that freezes them off is preferred over the salicylic acid wart remover. It may take a few applications. This is NOT the same as the freezing used in doctors office. It's a different chemical and is much weaker. Make sure to aim the wart spray at the base of tag, but to avoid healthy skin as much as you can. Wart removers come with multiple applications. Good for removing 1-6 tags. If you have a lot more tags, it's better to use method A or go to doctor as wart remover can become costly per pack if you need a lot.
you could probably rip it off and be fine but a little rubbing alcohol and neosporin wouldn't be bad
Floss works
This comment is actually funny for someone who lives in the EU. "For those who can't afford this option" :D

Healthcare is free in my country but I still did it myself. Many minor surgeries and procedures can be done on oneself in an emergency. Personally I just don't like strangers touching me while I'm conscious at least.

Lies, tried it, it didn't work, i smell like vinegar for no reason
@@io_alyssa2512 did it work? I have the same neck skin tag but I have a cluster like line of then
Bro does make up video Jesus Christ you don’t even do anything
@@josemontesdeocah u need to apply a fresh bandaid every night for a few days until it falls off. it does work. not my fault ur doing it wrong and expecting it to fall off on the first application
Significant bleeding*
Me: bandaids.
You can also wrap a thread or hair around it and leave it there until it shrivels up and falls off by itself.
That’s exactly what I done, while I was in the cinema w a peice of my hair
That's how they neuter bulls... just thought i'd share that
Bruh could you explain how to do this
Exactly what I did, and it came out by itself, also make sure to sterilize the thread and put sterilized bandage on it to keep it clean in case it came off
@@thwahirmahammed4334 You might need someone to assist you. Get some string/hair, lift the skin tag up and tie the string at the base of the tag. Any sort of knot will do so long as it's secure. Make sure it tied tightly enough so you can feel it, but not so tight that it hurts. The string cuts off the blood flow and in about 3-7 days it'll fall off.
"Ripping it off would cause significant bleeding."
Yes, like any other minor wound that comes in contact with blood vessels. So long as manageable bleeding is not a threat to your longevity (for some with conditions such as sickle cell anemia, it can be), you will be fine. Just hold a small tissue over the area and you won't have to worry.
"The open wound would be susceptible to infection."
Yes, just like any other open wound. If you disinfect the area and keep it clean, your chances of infection drastically decrease.
You are perfectly fine to remove skin tags, yourself so long as you follow the proper precautions. I'd recommend removing it via wire shearing, simple cutting, or torsion. Wire shearing where you take a thin piece of wire-like material (such as floss), disinfect it, and wrap it around the base of the skin-tag while pulling until it shears the tag off. Torsion is where you spin it until it is taut back and forth until it tears off.

TOO STRONG
yeah i hate this pseudo medical advice bs, he sounds like he gets a commission off liquid nitrogen lol
He's better at explaining things than my School
i love the part where he explains what a skin tag actually is
Fun fact you can get dry ice at your local grocery store and it works the same
Dry ice usually isn't cold enough. You can use some over-the-counter wart freezing devices though. It might take a few sessions. The issue is freezing the entire tag or it's not going to work.
😂
Why do I need to know that?
Thanks for that 😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊
I have so many under my breast the cost is very high jj😮😮😮😮
Depending on the size you could legit just grab it and pull it off with just a small amount of bleeding. The bigger ones will bleed more but you can stop bleeding pretty easily with pressure and deodorant. If it's really big you can tie a rubber band or string tightly around it, depriving it of blood until it falls off or you can just pull it off. I also recommend some anti-bacterial numbing spray you can get over the counter at CVS, not required but it helps and it's cheaper than a doctor's visit.
Deoderant?..
@@silly-xj3sq so it doesn't stink
@@silly-xj3sq I would assume they mean antiperspirant. I assume the idea is that it'll create a barrier to stop the bleeding
Fair.@@Cerioth
@@Cerioth exactly. My mom worked in the medical field and would remove them for family members free of charge. We would get a Q-tip, rub it on the deodorant, and then rub the Q-tip on the area after soaking up most of the blood.
Just tie it off with a silk thread or hair. Keep tightening it with new thread every few days until you don't feel any sensation in it.
It will die and fall off naturally in a week or so.. or you can cut it off with a sanitized nail cutter after a week, and you should be absolutely fine.
A doctor's visit will cost a lot. But the method I have described is tried, tested and safe.
Yup. Done that
that's how we take balls off cattle
ok but how is that gonna work for me?? my skin tag is in my belly button
@@r0s3_th0rnssGet a freezing pen, which is what the doc is useing in this video. Unless you like to spend $1000 and days worth of apts. It would take you 5min and like 20 bucks. You could prob even trip it off or cut it. A pea size cut isnt nothing
Skin tag castration...
“Bleeding and could get infected”
> But not lethal right?
I actually always wondered "why do they not just scratch it off?" 😂 this one was legitimately informing
Many of my tags just dries out and fall off themselves. But sometimes they decides to stay.😂
Do they pay rent?
@@tenerife_sea never got anything till date.
Ok I think this is what could of happened to mine, had one a couple years ago but one day I check on it and it wasn't there anymore
There is a old style of removing them that I heard from my grandma, you take a sewing thread and tie a small knot around it at the point where its connected to your skin. Tie it very tightly and loss of blood to the area should allow the area to die off and then you should tighten the tie more after a few days till the tag fully falls off

Just left this same comment 🤷♂️, best way ever ....
Oh just like a cow
Reminds me quite a bit of how hemorrhoids are sometimes removed with little rubber bands (litigation?).
So you kill a part of you? 😢
I literally pulled mine off this morning and i had to see this NOW?!?!?
This is so aesthetically pleasing!
Idk what you mean, that is not beautiful. I don't think aesthetic is the word you're wanting
