How To Get Rid Of Skin Tags - 3 Common Methods

When it comes to getting rid of skin tags, there are 3 methods your doctor might suggest - cutting, freezing and burning. While all of these sound painful, they actually can usually be done in the doctors office without anesthesia for smaller tags and with a topical anesthesia for larger ones.

Cutting - A minor surgical procedure using scissors

Burning - Done by medical electric cautery

Freezing - Using liquid nitrogen

Burning and freezing can cause discoloration of the skin and cutting could cause bleeding.
