Since I have been on armour no more have appeared but I am left with the ones I had originally as I can't get anyone to tie them off.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 the simplest way is to get someone to tie them off. Use a piece of ordinary sewing thread and tie it tight (very tight) around the base of the skin tag. This cuts off the blood supply and the skin tag will drop of within a few days. I used this method on my dd's warts when she was younger. I'd love to get rid of my skin tags but I don't have anyone to do this, you need two hands to do it and I can't manage to get both hands into the awkward places where these skin tags are.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 I live alone & have no one around here to help me do this. So I hope to find a good doctor who'll do it for me.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 My daughter had hers removed by a NP, the smaller ones were cut off with scissors, the larger ones were froze off with dry ice.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 ahhh, there might be a clue there as so many of us here have low adrenal reserve as well as hypo I would NOT recommend that anyone tries to cut off their own skin tags - the damned things can bleed like crazy. Tying them off doesn't hurt at all, you are cutting off the blood supply and they die naturally.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 oooh, sorry I don't know whether there would be scarring or not. It probably depends on how big it is (in circumference) The skin will be a little lighter for a while but I think it would fade. But to be honest, I wouldn't risk any " self treatment " around the face. Lynda Re: skin tags I have one right under my eye there will be no scarring? Honestly I never thought of doing it myself!
