How do I get rid of skin tags on my neck?

I have skin tags around my neck. It is very embarrassing. I have to keep them covered with shirts that are high enough to cover them. I would like to cut my hair short but I can%26#039;t because of my skin tags. I have long hair which also covers my skin tags. Can someone help me with this? How do I get rid of them?

Tie a piece of thread around them very tightly and leave it - they%26#039;ll fall off on their own after a week or two. You should really get them removed by a doctor, but the thread method works just fine too.
Reply:See a dermatologist, he/she will paint a solution on it that will make them drop off but it burns, they also have this device that will scrape it off. The lady that advised you to tie thread on it reminds me of my nursing days in pediatrics, when babies are born with six fingers they tie off the extra digit with thread and kill the blood supply and it eventually falls off....its gross, but it worked.
Reply:See your physician. They can be removed very easily.
Reply:My doctor at my HMO removed a few with a flat scissors and put some Bactine on the area. He was a very nice doctor and didn%26#039;t have to do it. I have more now and feel just as embarassed as you do. You may have to pay a doctor to remove them because they are considered cosmetic.





I may try some of the suggestions given by the others, except for the nail clipper. Good idea, but ouch.

Reply:Once, I used a nail clipper to remove one from my eyelid. It didn%26#039;t hurt. Another time I used wart remover for a week while covered with a band-aid. It worked. I also used the nail clipper on one on my neck, and it really hurt, but it removed it. A doctor with a local anesthetic can remove them in his office with a scalpel.

Sterilize a pair of scissors. Cut the skin tag off at the base. Apply pressure with a clean cotton ball until the bleeding stops. Apply neosporin and a band-aid. Do this once a week or so, one or two at a time so you%26#039;re not covered in bandages and sores all the time. Your doctor can do this for you, but it is cosmetic rather than medically necessary, so your insurance will likely not pay for it.
