There are ways to remove skin tags at home, but first consult with your doctor to make sure it’s a skin tag. You can get them cut off by your doctor or a dermatologist can use laser surgery, which can be a little expensive. There are some easy and inexpensive ways to remove skin tags at home, such as:
- Tie and pull: Many people use dental floss or even a strand of hair, they tie it around the skin tag which eventually cuts the circulation off and it falls off.
- Freeze: You can visit your dermatologist and he will use liquid nitrogen to freeze it off. There are also products that you can buy with no prescription for a fraction of the cost.
- Tea Tree oil: This natural oil is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. All you have to do is apply it on the skin tag and it will eventually fall off.
