How are skin tags treated?
In cases in which a skin tag is irritated
or cosmetically unwanted, treatment may be
done by freezing the tag with liquid
nitrogen, tying off the tag with a thread
or suture so as to cut off the blood
supply, or cutting off (excising) the tag
with a scalpel or scissors.

I had little tags underneath my armpits
(very annoying) I went to the
dermatologist and they numbed them and cut
them off with a razor pretty simple really
didn't hurt at all (except for the numbing
shot)

My mum had them cut off by the doctor.
Simple as that. They leave tiny scars,
well discolouration of the skin.
Depending on the size of the skin tag.
