My boss had some on his underarms.  His doctor cut them off with some scissors.  He said some hurt & others didn't as much. One bled.  You shouldn't tie it off...it could become infected.  A doctor would do it in a clean enviorment with clean instruments.  They healed just like a normal little cut.

Please don't attempt to remove it yourself - could be very dangerous as it could make the cells react in a bad way. See your doctor or a specialist...

nothing thats dirty, go to the doctor and get that stuff cleared up the right way and stay away from anyone so you dont pass it along

If you open it up, then put a lot of peroxide on it.  It'll foam up a bit, then dab it dry with some toilet paper or something and put Neosporin on it.  It should be gone a few days if you do that every day.

You would have to see a doctor. I have been through this process myself.  If it is a small one, your regular doctor will remove it either by just cutting it off, or by freezing it and cutting it.  If it is a large one, your doctor will refer you to a dermatologist.  The doctor will number the area, they cut it off.  They can bleed a lot, so it is wise to see a doctor rather than removing it yourself.

Not really. They are fed with blood vessels and if you cut them off yourself they will bleed a lot. Really a lot. The only true safe way is for a dermatologist to remove them. However, this new stuff they have for warts, that is like a spray the "freezes" them, could be used on the tag and it will look burnt, but will dry up and eventually fall off in about two weeks.

sterilize a needle with rubbing alcohol pop it if you can stand it pull back just a little of the skin and put some neosporin anti scar on it.. the anti scar works faster at repairing skin tissue and doesn't burn like liquid bandage

I know this sounds painful (which it is to a degree), but if you leave it alone for a couple of days, it will soon fester, and you can easily remove it with a pair of tweezers or a needle. Make sure they are sterile before you do it, though. \n\nAnother way to do it is to get a good drawing salve, like Watkins drawing salve, or bag balm. Apply it to the site, and cover with a band aid. It will help to bring it to the surface so you can easily get it out.

also try "ingrow go" by Skindoctors--it removes ingrown hair from all parts of the body.

it depends how big it is. here is a tip to remove your hicky>>>>>>>>>>>>> take a comb and rub it over the hicky, not to hard or not to light and it should go away. DON'T suck on your arm if that is really true. {smile}

After you take a shower try applying an antibiotic ointment that is petrolatum based until the sores are healed.  Then use a good cream like Avveno daily.  This works in both area's.  Also get undies that have cloth around the elastic like fruit of the loom for ladies.  Get some new well fitting bra's the lift...  If this doesn't start to clear up after a week or so you might want to talk to your doctor.   You could develop a bad infection.  Also watch what kind of pants/tops you ware... stay away from anything that will hold the heat and moisture.   I know this can be very painful.  Good luck,  hope you feel better soon.

Use salt, it doesn't go away as fast.  Just poor some in your hands and rub it on your wet skin.

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 wish I could post my belly pic as I have the most heinous stretchies ever...I cant find a finger width of normal skin between them. You can have laser treatment (think tattoo removal) but it only eliminates 30% of the marks.  Don't bother with the cocoa butter stuff as that does as much for stretch marks as the gas and air does for labour pain (not much).  Apparently Bio oil can reduce them but not cure them. Just resolve never to wear a bikini again, or get them tattoo'd over to look like tiger stripes!!
