Advice from a doctor for skin tag removal at home.
If you’ve ever noticed a little fleshy piece of skin hanging off your neck, it could be a skin tag. And if it is, you may have contemplated researching how to handle skin tag removal at home. But before I give you the 411 on that process, here is some good news—you don’t have to worry about it being harmful to your health.
However, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Robin Evans, MD, says that skin tag irritation can occur, especially if they are rubbed, scabbed, or become caught in clothing or jewelry. “Occasionally, skin tags will become irritated and can then cause some discomfort,” Evans explained. “They also tend to be brown to tan in color, but if they get irritated, they may darken due to scabbing and bleeding.
“Skin tags are more common with older people, people who battle obesity, and diabetics,” Michon said. “They can also appear or increase during the last stage of pregnancy for certain females, but tend to regress afterward.” “Topicals such as tea tree oil and apple cider vinegar can be tried which may help to dry out the lesion, but please note that sometimes these topicals can be very irritating to the skin,” she explained. “The best option is to seek care from your dermatologist.”
