I've done it twice, had one in each armpit where my underwire rubbed. Slapped some Orajel on to numb, then used cuticle nippers that had been through an autoclave at work. It's been 15+ years and they have not come back--got bras that actually fit!

I agree with the reasoning however…Dr. Lee is a good dermatologist. I finally broke down and went to the one my doctor referred me to as I used to lifeguard and had a few spots I wanted looked at. The appointment lasted less than five minutes and when I mentioned a spot on my ear that I wanted them to take a better look at, I was sprayed with liquid nitrogen (without asking permission) and shooed out the door. They then billed me for “surgery” and my insurance didn’t cover everything, so I was left with a $200 bill. My mother had a similar experience at another dermatologist. I feel like unless you’re going to generate significant revenue with multiple procedures, you’re chopped liver.

I had a big one on my back that would get knocked by my bra strap. My doctor kept saying he’d sort it but he never did so I got my mum to tie it off & we just put a band aid over it & it did dry up & fall off. I’ve had no ill effects as a result.

[lupuswarrior]

I clipped mine off with nail clippers. Didn't feel the best, but it worked. I had so many along my bra line I just clipped them off! 😅

[bellasmom]

I asked a doctor to remove two on my eye lid, on the lash line that bothered my eye. They refused so I removed it myself.

[this_is_my_stop]

Used the little rubber band home kit thing for a few, worked great!

[janerainsford]

Skin tags can be treated with Retinol. I had tags on my neck. I was using Retinol on my face so I started putting it on the tags. It worked!

[michaelewhite]

Used nail clippers all the time. And my hair cutting shears they are very sharp! Bled like a sucker...

[kathbray]

I used Cryotag from Amazon. But I would only use it on a definate skin tag. Also only where I could see what I was doing

[MicheleWalkerWebb]

When I feel a small growth I check it out. Small enough, they have no nerve endings. No pain. Had a few on my back. My mom put her tweezers in alcohol and twisted them off. Never returned.

[DianaStuckert]

I've ripped them off with my fingernails. Yes it hurts. Yes it bleeds. But if the doctor won't freeze it, then sooner or later I'm going to get so irritated by it that I just rip the darn thing off.

[MarilynLittlepage-rior]

I use Tea Tree oil and it works fine no blood!!

[seanspartan]

They have home kits for skin tags that I would consider. But home remedies sound dangerous. These things can bleed or get infected.

[maureenhall]

Had a Dr. Remove one from my thigh a year ago. Just noticed yesterday that another started growing in the exact same spot.

[Fiery]

Constrictor Knot - if you are tying one off with thread, this is what you want. It will tighten down easily, even if you can only pull one end at a time. It won’t loosen. 👌🏼

So funny that the whole comments section is just sharing tips on how to DIY.
I don’t blame y’all, doctors are expensive and half the time they won’t do it. Honestly, my DIY have been better than the ones I had done by doctors. Good Luck Everyone!

I used apple cider vinegar on my skin tags and i even removed a huge 25 yr old mole underneath my eye it dried up and thank God has not grown back .

[charlenefaulkner]

I am using apple cider vinegar to remove a wart and it's working.

[KristineAllen-zpmj]

Thank you. I was going to try removing mine, in the bend of my leg. Doc said insurance didn't pay enough. She said to get a pair of surgical scissors and snip it off. Not happening. Thought about using dental floss or thread.

[zoemeakin]

I did one of mine with a kit I bought, a little band goes round it to basically cut off the blood supply. It worked perfectly well.

[NotAnotherKuromi]

So of the dr identifies it as a skin tag, not a mole, then I can remove it myself?
