Are you wondering how to remove skin tags or if it's even possible? It's actually not a very difficult process and doctors can easily do this for you in the office without much muss or fuss. However, the downside is that since this is not considered a necessary procedure, you may find that your insurance company will give you a hard time about it. This poses a problem for those looking to get rid of skin tags. I actually did have one removed at the office years ago but honestly they charged a totally outrageous amount. I forget what is was but I was shocked when I got the bill. My insurance of course did not pay for it.
I have done some research online and found some people simply snip off the little buggers. I'm a bit squeamish so that method did not really appeal to me, although I suppose if it was very tiny it would be okay.
Apparently you can also tie a string around them and cut off the blood supply, causing them to fall off. I am actually not sure if this method would really work or not but it is one of the home remedies that is out there floating around, so apparently some have tried it and had success.
On researching further, I found another account of someone who mentioned they placed nail polish on their skin tag and it fell off after a few days. Again, this sounds sort of iffy and possibly dangerous. I'd have some worry about infection with this method and also the method involving string.
So basically when it comes down to how to remove skin tags, the best thing obviously is to just let a doctor remove it. But if you want to save money, be sure to research the various home remedies floating about and make sure there are testimonials from others that can vouch for their effectiveness. If the method is tried and true it just might save you a visit to your physician and an unwanted bill.
