What are skin tags and how do they form? Is there a less painful way of removing them other than having them burned off?
Tie a piece of thread or dental floss tightly around the base of the skin tag. Then, with thoroughly cleaned sharp scissors or a nail clipper, cut the skin tag off above the material that you tied around the base. Make sure that after you remove skin tags, you keep the areas clean with peroxide or antibacterial ointment until they are healed.
