First skin tag!

Might find the answer here?

I went to a doctor in France about something else and pointed out a skin tag asking if it was anything to worry about whereupon he took out a pair of scissors and cut it off before I knew what was happening.

I have read that nail polish works very well on skin tags - haven't tried it, but if I get any more I intend to paint them with clear polish and see what happens. 'Had a sort of 'rash' of them on my neck a few years ago so I got an emery board and VERY lightly roughed up the surface area where the tags were for just a few seconds - it didn't hurt, and I speak as a complete wimp. After a few days the tags seemed to dry up, and washed away under the shower.
Cider vinegar seems to work well on skin things too; some years ago I had a very small patch of slightly pink rough skin on my shin that looked potentially nasty. Visited the GP who did examine it carefully and said it was not dangerous and 'just one of those things'. Someone told me to try cider vinegar, dabbed on every night, and the patch vanished very quickly. She had used it to get rid of a similar rather unsightly skin blemish. Don't know about skin tags but it might work- perhaps worth a try.

Bloody things- I hate them! Loved MissAdventures post though! I'm not at all squeamish so will definitely try her 'barbaric' approach! I'm not too bothered about bits and pieces appearing on my torso ( let's face it, our other halves are ageing too!), but I really don't want 'bits' appearing on my face! I'll follow all advice given on Gransnet and post accordingly!
If there was a witch living locally I'm sure she could make use of our 'drop off, burn off and snip off bits'.

Yes I did this too ! Many years ago , possibly in my 20/30s and yes it did drop off , one needs to 'choke' it with finger nails for a minute or so ,
But recently I had a very strange looking nodule white and growing slowly like a stack ! This was on my right arm just above elbow , It was also rough , causing clothing to catch up on it, which was annoying, but also slightly painful!
I asked Dr if it could be burnt off by freezing? But she said no and made apt for it to be cut out !
I have been left with a small bruise mark that's permanent, and a tenderness in this area , plus it looks like more fat residue collects under it !
