Skin tags - diy removal?
Discussion
You do need to be careful. I had one removed professionally from my face. Just at the top of my beard area so worried about chopping it off. She said it'd have bled and bled!
She used some liquid to dissolve it, took no time and didn't hurt. You can tie some cotton around some and they fall off after a while, but for £20 it's probably worth seeing a professional!

I had one just below my eye. Went to doctors and they wouldn't freeze it so told me to cut it off with a pair for nail clippers. I did it, bled quite a lot but healed eventually.
I had one on my leg a couple of weeks ago, I tried getting thread round it but kept missing, I lost patience and cut it off with nail scissors. It bled for a while!I had a skin growth on my upper eyelid which wasn’t causing me any issues but I wanted it gone. I found a practice local to me who use a treatment called ACP Electrolysis to get rid of it.
The treatment consisted of a needle-like implement being repeatedly touched on the site of the growth. It’s a very strange sensation and can get a bit hot at times! I reckon it took around two-three minutes in total. I also had a prominent mole in my hairline removed, which took longer as it was bigger.
Have to say, I’m absolutely amazed by the results. My eyelid healed perfectly within 7-10 days and the mole site still has some slight pigment but is otherwise perfectly flat now.
It cost me £100, so maybe not the cheapest method but I wouldn’t hesitate using them again. I suspect skin tags would be cheaper than this as they should be super quick.

I had two monster ones on my back and used a freeze kit from Boots on them.

You do get a few sticks to use for the money, It comes with a pair of tweezers that you use to pull the tag up then you freeze the base of it.
It stings for a could of days and goes black and eventually just falls off you.
They did bleed a couple of times whilst I was in bed but I put it down to knocking them about.
You wouldn’t even that I had the pair of them now plus it saved me the hassle of going to the docs to have them sorted.
