Wart Remover For Skin Tags? - Skin Problems Message Board

Do you think I can use a wart remover for skin tags? Like Dr. Scholl's wart remover....freeze. I was thinkin' about trying that on my skin tag.

Not sure if all the herbal extract stuff works.

I snip my skin tags off with fingernail scissors. That's what my dermo told me to do. Have some ice ready or styptic powder if they bleed.

Warts are caused by viruses - I use tea tree oil to remove them and it works like a charm. No mess, just that strong "tea tree" smell, and it takes several days to gradually disappear. I don't think skin tags are viral; I don't know what causes them.

Thanks
