SELF asked experts what skin tags are, what causes them in the first place, and how to remove skin tags without causing scarring or infection.
Unless you’re a dermatologist, you probably don’t know how to remove skin tags the right way—as in, without hurting yourself or potentially causing other issues like excessive bleeding, scarring, or infection. But you’re definitely not alone if you’re looking to cut one of those suckers loose. Skin tags—or acrochordons, if you want to be fancy and use the proper name—are a super common type of raised growth. In fact, as many as 60% of adults will get at least one in their lifetime.
The bottom line: If you’re wondering how to cut off skin tags painlessly or how to remove them at home, there are no entirely safe steps or methods to try, and DIY’ing it could, again, lead to bleeding, scarring, and/or infection. “I don’t recommend anything at home,” Dr. Evans says. “I always recommend coming in.” You can schedule an appointment with your dermatologist, if you have one, or ask your primary care doctor if they remove skin tags .
