Removal of Skin Tags

[en107rn.01056yahoo.01056com.01056sg]

I have it too. Went to the company doctor for gastric pills but the doctor instead ask for my permission to burn off the tag on my face. Don't think it is due to sudden weight change. I have them before marriage and I was super skinny then.


But what I notice is that my father has them, so is my sister. Hers is a lot more plus the \"thousand\" of freckles on her face.

Same procedure as Zack. The doctor burnt it using liquid nitrogen solution (that was what I was told) which is below 0 degree celcius. Not painful and the scar goes off.

Thanks EN and ZacK.


Since the private clinic GP can handle it, probably I will just bring her to the GP instead of going to polylinic and then wait for referral to National skin centre.

I think that is the cryosurgery wikipedia mentioned. (I was actually wondering how that was done.)

Hi Schellen... I think you can liken cryosurgery to having a very severe frost bite... Basically it destroys the live tissue and in the case of skin tags, the dead skin tissue will drop off.

\"Deep Frostbite- This is the most serious stage of frostbite. In this stage, blood vessels, muscles, tendons, nerves and bone may be frozen. This stage can lead to permanent damage, blood clots and gangrene, in severe cases. No feeling is experienced in the affected area and there is usually no blistering. Serious infection and loss of limbs frequently occurs after frostbite reaches this stage. However, even with deep frostbite, some frozen limbs may be saved if medical attention is obtained as soon as possible. \"

Uncertain about exactly what you are looking for, before using any medication or herbs you need to consult a doctor. To learn more or even to become knowledgeable you can go through some good sites like MayoClinic etc ... also you can get a totally free e-book on skin tag here http://www.skintagremovalguide.com/

Heres a secret trick to removingthose hanging skin tags without cost and relatively painless:


Get a strand of your hair, either those that hv fallen out or from your hairbrush, carefully round the strand of hair around the skin tag and tie a knot. you know you did it right if the hair is tight around the very bottom of the skin tag.
Try to tighten the knot as much as you can, this may hurt a little but its not much to pay to remove the tag. after youre done, Cut the excess hair and leave the knot of very short strand of hair for abt 2 days or until it drops off. When it drops off, it doesnt leave any scars.

My family used this method for years and it works perfect. Tell me if you guys tried this and how it turned out!

There are so many home remedies are available to remove skin tags, which you can try. But some time they are not up to mark and can leave a scar. I would suggest you to get professional help for http://www.london-dermatology-clinic.com/skin-tag-removal/url.

Just go national skin center. They do it at cheaper rate if you got recommended through the polyclinic.

the best way to get rid of them is to take a string and tie it tight around the skin tag. in a few days it will fall off.
