I remember not long ago there was a post about skin tags, but it seems to have disappeared now. Oh well, the question I have is, Does anyone know when you use the nylon string around the tag, how long will it take to fall off? Also, do you know how tight you should make the string? I am a bit nervous doing this since I keep imagining if it doesn't fall off, what will happen with the string and how will i get the thread off? HELP!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks all

I have never heard of them and don't know what they are for. I must admit when i first saw this thread I thought it was about tatoos!

LOL, Kiersten, I don't know the answer, but if you find out, let me know, I have a few I would like to strangle to death

i did it for one of them kiersten. you have to do them as tight as possible. the string has to be notted, and the tag and the thread come off together. problem is i can't reach some of them to knot them, and trying to get husband or daughter to help is always a "ewwwwwwwwwww" moment for them.

I have some too. They really are annoying if clothing rubs up against them.

If you cut them, is there a lot of blood/pain?

I had a few cut off in the past couple years - Depends on where they are located as far as alot of pain or blood. They can come back in the same location too! Yuk I do not like them - I have moles taken off now and then too can't stand them either - I have one mole off my face that is now coming back in as a white one. I watch the moles because I have had one abnormal.

Unfortunately for me, skin tags run in my family. I had one on my eye, which I had a dermatologist remove. I don't think it bled, or if it did it stopped quickly. I recently had two small ones on my neck which I removed myself, and they didn't really bleed and I wasn't in pain. I think some do, though. And I'd likely leave it up to a dermatologist if you've never had them before. (also just to make sure about diagnosis)
