The medical term used to describe skin tags is an acrochordon and is basically a relatively small begin tumor that forms in areas where there are creases, like the neck, armpits and the groin. They may sometimes also occur on the face, but if they do appear on the eye lids. The usually range in size from a small grain of rice to a large golf ball.
The tag is often raised off the surface of the skin and rests on something that resembles a fleshy stalk called a penduncle. Majority of skin tags do not contain nerve cells and hence can be painlessly removed, however there some tags that need to be removed with the help of a local anesthetic. These skin tags are normally harmless and the most irritation they cause is interference with jewelry and times during shaving and grooming.
Skin tags can be removed at home with the help of a simple household item – nail clippers. You will however need to sterilize the clippers before you use them in order to reduce the risk of infection. Start by cleaning the area around the skin tag with a disinfectant (rubbing alcohol will do).very gently squeeze the tag with the toe nail clippers, do not try and pull the tag off. The clipping helps kill the nerve in the tag and it eventually hardens up and dries out. Make use of an antibiotic cream to help prevent the chance of the dead tag developing an infection. Another method that you can try has been in use for centuries as remedy to treat boils as well. Take a tail hair of a horse or a stand of long enough sewing thread and tie around the tag, tie the knot as tight as possible In order to help the tag fall off faster. It generally takes about 5-7 days to fall off.
