Is there a non-surgical / non chemical way to remove skin tabs?
Skin tags are small, soft, flesh-colored growths that protrude from your skin. They are generally harmless. However, if needed, skin tags can be snipped off with a scissors, or removed by freezing (cryotherapy) or with electrical current (electrodessication) in your dermatologist’s or doctors office. It is generally not recommended that you remove skin tags yourself because of the increased risk of infection and excessive bleeding. In addition, other skin growths — such as moles, keratoses, hemangiomas and pyogenic granulomas — can resemble skin tags and should only be removed by a doctor. That said… I get them on the inside of my elbows, and on my collarbone and usually remove mine by snipping them off with sterilized fingernail clippers, or just pinching them off. (clean hands and nails) They might bleed a bit, but they heal quickly.
