Re: Skin Tags, has anyone else got em?

My husband had them long before I started getting them. He had several on his face and neck removed by our family dr. and I believe he froze them off. I think they are a common part of aging like the brown age spots older people get.

Try calling your family dr. and ask what his/her procedure for removing them is. My huband continues to get them and I am getting more all the time also. I have been hesitant to get mine removed since they are not on my face and I feel I might as well wait until I get more before getting as many removed at one time as possible. Good luck.

Re: Skin Tags, has anyone else got em?

I had a few removed by the dermatologist - he froze them with liquid nitrogen - it burned at first, then they were swollen & tender - after a few days they dried up & turned black - it took some of them 2 weeks to fall off - and they kept catching on things, which hurt.

Have you tried Skin Biology's CP (copper peptide) serum? They make several different strengths and a lot of people have had success with getting rid of skin tags by using it. I had a few tiny ones on my neck & it did dry them up & they flaked right off. No pain at all.

Re: Skin Tags, has anyone else got em?

My grandpa and mom have alot of them on their necks. So far I only have one on my neck as well. My mom spoke to her doctor some years ago, and he told her a way to remove them. I would never do this myself, but my mom has removed them this way for years, and yes, the doctor actually told her to do this. He said to take a piece of thread and wrap it around the tag, then pull the opposite ends until it squeezes the tag off. I know, it doesn't sound very medically safe to me, but this was per her doctor, and she has been doing this for a long time with no problems. I'm not really suggesting this, just letting you know what she does to get rid of hers.

Blue-eyed Belle,
Can you buy that serum at the drug store or Walmart type store, or is it sold at the cosmetic counters of dept. stores?
