Skin tag removal

[Leaway2]

Has anyone had a skin tag removed. If so, how and where was it. I have one on my eyelid and I feel it is time to lose it.

 

[I like Skol]

Nail clippers and some TCP. Man up and get on with it!

This may not be actual valid medical advice and no liability for any suffering or losses as a result of following this suggestion will be accepted by the poster (me)!

See GP, get referral to max-fac or plastics and see about geting it removed. Up here some minor "lumps and bumps" are contracted out to a private company working for the NHS to let the hopsital get on with bigger stuff.....still via GP though.

I've got a couple in an awkward position I need to attend to . I'm pondering on the nail clipper theory, but there's lost of blood involved apparently.

I read that you can do the same as warts and stick a small piece of duct tape over them to starve them of oxygen, they then go black and fall of in a couple of weeks.

Not sure if duct tape over the eye is a good look though!!

I had one removed from my neck by GP. Frozen, fell off soon after
Eyelid, I'd probably want a specialist to do

I did one of mine with some sewing thread. I just tied it off tight and left it until it fell off. It was under my armpit so a bugger to get two hands in the right position. I did have a go with nail scissors, but it hurt too much.

I used a pair sharp scissors to cut one off my shoulder, slight pain and hardy any blood at all.

I've got a massive one between my shoulders.

This is on my eyelid, so I am hesitant to go "industrial".

I did see a GP but they said it was cosmetic as it was not causing discomfort. So basically, sod off.

That's odd, GP's usually refer on all manner of lumps and bumps including skin tags.

Did you want me to find out someone in Manchester with a good rep who could do it privately ? Pm me a pic and I'll enquire. If you were local I'd suggest my consultant surgical colleague Graham Putnam.

I chopped one off the front of my shoulder with nail scissors. Claret everywhere, but dressed it up and all was good. I'd probably get an eyelid mounted one done by a pro though.

Tea tree oil. Dab it on 3 times a day, and it will eventually turn black and drop off. Mind you, I would not use tea tree oil near my eye.

I've got a few skin tags and was mulling over just getting on with it with a sterilised Stanley blade.

Not a good idea round the eyes though!.

Maybe a couple of pints first as well..
