Now the first thing you want to be sure of, is that you are actually dealing with a skin tag. A skin tag looks like just a small extra flapp of skin and usually aren’t much bigger than half an inch long or so. Skin tags are also usually the same color as your skin or jus slightly darker, but they aren’t as dark as moles. And unlike moles, they usually don’t have any hair growing out of them. To the left is a picture of a skin tag, or skin tab or skin barnacle as they are sometimes called.

Okay, the first method on how to remove a skin tag yourself, is to tie of the root of the skin tag with fishing string or dental floss. You want to get it as close to your skin as possible. The next step is taking a pair of nail scissors or nail clippers that you have thoroughly sterilized and sanitized. Then, using a mirror or other aid, snip of the skin tag as close to the skin as possible. It might bleed just a little bit but it shouldn’t bleed too much. This is how a doctor removes a skin tag, except they have scissors or surgical instruments that cost a ton more!

Another way for skin tag removal at home is to use a paste of castor oil and baking soda. You “sand” down the skin tag and put this paste on your skin tag a few times a day for several days up to a couple of weeks. This proces seems to work best with the larger skin tags and moles that you are trying to remove. However, the guide that I spoke about earlier has very detailed and easy to follow instructions on how to safely remove skin tags at home using this method and others. You don’t need to live with skin tags, they are not harmful but can be unsightly, and now you know how to remove a skin tag. So get at them and get back your unblemished skin free of skin tags for good.

They can be especially annoying if you wear necklaces around your neck. I’ve caught a skin tag or two in my necklace and ripped that bud of flesh right off my neck. It hurts, but more than that, it starts to bleed and doesn’t stop as quickly or easily as a scratch.

A lot of my friends have asked me how to remove a skin tag and I’ve found that a natural skin tag remover works best for me. There are a variety of ways to get rid of a skin tag that are natural, including the over the counter skin tag remover. Most of these are lotions or ointments that you put on your skin tag. And over time they sort of dissolve the skin tag. They work quite well, but the best one I have found came from a book that offered an easy way of home removal of skin tags. I’ve been using this method exclusively now for the last several skin tags that I’ve had. It gets rid of them quite quickly, usually within days to a couple of weeks.

The nice thing about this method is that I only need to use at hand supplies that most of us have at home. It’s also the cheapest way that I have found to remove skin tags. Even the over the counter skin tag removers require an ongoing expense. Because sadly, I don’t know of any way to get rid of skin tags all together. I think it is just one of those things that comes with aging.

So don’t worry about the bumps on your neck or your upper chest or arms. It is a natural part of aging. As long as they don’t grow much bigger than a pencil eraser and they don’t hurt, they aren’t something you should feel too worried about. Acrochordons are their scientific name if you were wondering. But pain in the neck is what I usually them! Something else to keep in mind to keep skin tags at bay is to watch your weight. From what I’ve learned, people who are overweight seem to be prone to more skin tags than those of use who are of ideal weight. Yet another good reason to commit to that diet I guess!
