Skin tag

[brendakaos]

I was hoping that maybe someone could help me with this- I have a small skin tag about the size of the end of a needle under my right eye. It has been there for month's, I didn't really pay much attention to it but I notice that it is getting a bit longer. Can I remove this myself without going to the doctor? I had one removed from my eyelid a few year's ago, but I just don't want to spend the money if I don't have to and I don't like doctors very much!! Thanx guy's!!

hmmm... i would be careful since it's under the eye.

if you try cutting it off, use sterilized cuticle cutters that are sharp. and make sure you cut and not tear/pull it off. and put neosporine(sp?) on afterwards

I've heard if you tie thread around it and knot it... (then snip it so it doesn't show) it'll eventually fall off - kind of strangles it I guess. ?? :icon_wink

I would definitely spend the money. I had a tag under my left eye about a year ago and i did the whole tying the thread around it thing.......i got a horrible little scar from it, it's so dark i can barely cover it up.
