I guess Ive been doing this for a while now I useto have alot on my face but i would just try to pick on them and just peel it off and then of course it would bleed a little and then would just put hydrocortisone on it. JUst like removing skintags, i guess. As anyone else tried this or am i the only one??? thanks.

Wow, I would think that would leave a scar. I'm using glycolic acid peels, microdermabrasion, & copper peptides to remove the couple that I have...

Usually I go to the derm for this, but getting so many, he only does some with acid. I use compund w on some of them on the sides of my face. This isn't a good idea but it works. It is an acid and does kill the skin, usually for warts. Do it on a Friday as it dries white and you have to let it dry off so by Sunday it will begin to peel off, but if it isn't ready to come off you will have to leave it on or you will scar yourself.
I don't do it around my eyes. They come back if you go in the sun...
