Skin Tags

[maggiebee]

I seem to remember that there was a method of removing skin tags posted on here some time ago. Can anyone remember this, or indeed have a remedy. Have a couple of my neck which, although they don't bother me, I think they look a bit unsightly.

Tie a piece of cotton round them and wait for them to drop off

Thanks sqad and barry, will have a look at previous posts. They seem to be quite common.

Most people have them, maggie, espcially the over 35s

I had a small one start, and dabbed some Tea Tree oil on for a few days with a cotton bud, it worked, but you will have a slight burning sensation. The bigger it is the more days you will need to treat it. May be try the suggested cotton tied round method and Tea Tree oil. Obviously don't use near your eye area.

I'm sure I've read that cider vinegar works. Dab some on daily and put a plaster over top. It takes about a week for them to dry up and fall off.

I have loads of them...round my neck, all round my bra line, groins, behind both knees. I just got used to them.
The two I tied cotton round dropped off but came back.
I forget about them now.
