Skin tags? Those can only be removed by a doctor BUT you may have developed it due to be allergic to the wax or fragrance in the wax. If it doesn't clear up in a month go see a doctor. DO NOT remove skin tags on your own.

Skin tags can certainly be removed at home - Dr Scholls has a great kit for around $30.

The problem is that the tags are on the face.

In this case, you might want to see a Dermatologist.

But if the tags were on your neck or lower - save money and do them yourself.

Dr. Scholl's? Do you mean the freeze away wart remover?

Dr Scholls has a skin tag remover as does Compound W.

I used to get skin tags all the time under my arms and figured out it was most likely the ingredients in the anti-perspirants I was using.... Switched to a natural deodorant and have not had a skin tag since.... like 10 years..... SO I would maybe change to a different wax or stop all together...

Those aren't skin tags. Another member posted about her bumps and essentially (in her case) they're benign bumps called Syringoma. Only a doctor can determine what yours are.
