Skin tags

Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

My son had a skin tag on his ear removed by laser.  It was easy, painless, and took about three minutes.

Try your medical insurance. I had three ichy warts and I was surprised when my doctor removed them for me. he had that my medical insurance covered them and he was able to remove them in his office. Ask him or her.

My dad has had multiple of them removed by his doctor.  Not sure how much it costs, but I guess it's not astronomical, or else he never would have had them removed.

okay, where have I been?   LOL....I have never heard of a skin tag...what are they?

I was told by an assistant 0f my dermatologist that you can use dental floss to remove them. You tie the floss tightly around them, which cuts off the blood supply to the tag and then they will fall off. My husband tried this and it did work! We had pretty much forgotten that we had tied it off, a couple of weeks later we realized the floss and the tag were gone!

what exactly are they?

[Gerianne]

Skin tag is a tiny,flat piece of skin.
 I know a lady who has one just under her eye.
Some people just leave them alone.

I had a small one on my face.  When I went to my GP for a flu shot I showed her & she said no problem, don't know what she did, I think just cut it off, no pain, no blood, and no cost!  Try going to or at least callng your family dr.  Good luck
