skin tags

Hi
I have a lot of skin tags checked out by GP they are skin tags he will cut them off for me but I was wondering can I freeze them off myself at home with one of those that says freeze warts.

Dear penguin1,

Thank you for your post.

Skin tags are very common and generally harmless. Anyone can develop skin tags and they tend to grow where skin rubs against skin or clothing. Although they can develop due to hormonal changes too.

I cannot recommend that you carry out the removal yourself. Often the GP will decide how and who can remove them dependant on location, number of tags, how big they are and also how wide the base of the tag is. Large skin tags may bleed heavily if you remove them yourself.

I strongly recommend that you let the GP do the procedure for you.

Best wishes,

Justine
