Skin Tag Removal - Cutting

Skin tag removal at home is possible with something that most will have lying around. It is possible to do so at home by simply cutting it off with scissors, nail clippers or a knife.

This is the most painful way to remove skin tags as nerve endings can still be present in the stalk. (The bit of skin that keeps the pocket of skin connected)

Some people may bleed profusely when using this method, so if you do choose this, be sure you have plenty of band aids around.

Infection can also be a risk when using this skin tag removal method. The cutting tool should be sterilized prior to cutting.

This can be done by boiling the tool in water, or cleaning with rubbing alcohol.

Taking all precautions, infection is still a risk and i do not recommend this method. I am simply letting you know your options.

Skin tags removed this way will most likely grow back.
