Please don't try getting rid of them at home - go to a doctor instead.\n\nFor a trained professional it's a very quick and simple procedure and he/she can use the correct implements and ensure the affected area is sterilized and sutured if needs be.\n\nRemoving a skin tag at home can invite all sorts of problems.\n\nDon't worry about the procedure at the doctors - it's quick, easy and painless.

Try using a good sun block product. One with a number 45 or higher. As for clearing up problem skin, try using a cleanser which is hypoallergenic. Also, pure lemon juice makes a good skin cleanser and it smellls good too. Always rinse the skin well after using a cleanser to make sure there is no residue left from the cleanser. Good luck.

Try cleaning stains versus household cleaners.  Do candle wax, grease, grass, dried mustard, etc.

You can't remove a hickey, which is actually a bruise...only time can make it go away.  A bruise is blood that has leaked into the tissues and it has to be absorbed.  Now you can speed the absorption buy applying some heat a few times a day but, in the end, it will require time.\n\nYou can cover it with a makeup called dermablend which is designed to cover birthmarks.  It is pricey but hides even the most severe of birthmarks (port wine stain) so will easily cover a bruise.

I am pretty sure that the only way to "rid" yourself of stretch marks is to have them zapped out by a dermatologist.  They fade with time, but never really go away.

If you are unsure about any changes in your skin or growths arising on the skin, always check with your doctor. He or she can identify skin tags and other skin conditions and can help you decide whether skin abnormalities should be removed.\n\nYou should have it checked as soon as possible, but it could be black because the blood supply has been cut off and it will soon fall off.

It's a skin tag. Visit a friendly dermatologist to have it removed. And for the love of all that is holy, don't pop it...

i have many skin tags on my neck. the dermatologist has told me there is really no reason for them. the best i can figure is i inherited them from my mom. if i catch one in my brush it will get irritated as well.. i have them removed when they start getting out of control.

I would say: see a doctor. however. I have had this before. and the doctor said its a bacteria caused by wearing new or long-time stored clothes because you have sensitive skin it's not dangerous and it  will go away eventually however he gave me some kind of cream to put on the spots it will get rid of them faster. and he also told me to wash every thing I buy from the stores b4 wearing it. \nif you have insurance. see the doctor

Since giving out medical advice is beyond my scope of practice and they can take away my license I can only give you some general info.\n\nIf you went to your family MD he/she might use a surgical suture (a string if you will) and tie a knot around the skin tag. Suture stays on until tag falls off.  The suture/knot is very tight and cuts off the flow of blood to the skin.  I have seen people who have literally pulled them out (very small skin tags) and they bleed. However the bleeding does stop. Hurts.\n  If you have a lot of them you may want to consult your MD anyhow. Are you sure they are skin tags, any discoloration, size, shape changes.

Try putting oatmeal (soaked in water till soft) on a piece of cucumber and massage gently for 2 min .  Rinse clean with warm water. Your shin will have a healthy glow and be free of any dead skin without damaging you skin in the process.

Have the dermatologist cut them off or freeze them off.\n\nFYI, too many skin tags is a pre-sign of colon issues in the future, they are learning......so have your colon checked for polyps or cancer when you get older.

I was told by my doctor that skin tags are harmless. Since I have an excellent doctor, I believe him. Thanks.
