That would mean he thinks they are harmless or benign.

I, and a few other people have tried to remove skin tags with Lugols. I did not have any luck. It seems the amount of Lugols and the amount of time involved causes major irritation around the tags...

That being said, I did however successfully remove a large brown patch which went away without a scar in about a month.

Same here...I can get rid of moles all day with Lugols but not my skin tags.

Sorry to be gross..but you can cut them off. Or pinch them...they will turn from flesh color as blood gets in there. Then I just rub my finger over it for a few seconds each day and it falls off on its own. Weird little things....

Good luck!

That's ironic that some of you have said you can remove moles but have no luck with skin tags - I'm the exact opposite! I have removed a skin tag using lugols, but like others have said, it takes time, and depending where it is, it can become painful if it "catches" on anything. I resorted to using a bandaid over it toward the end, to keep it from catching. If you try this, don't freak when the tag seems to swell to double or triple it's size. Just keep at it. I didn't always remember to do it, but I would recommend 1-2x per day. It took a month for mine to fall off, but I wasn't as consistent as I should have been.

I used oregano oil on my skin tags. I did this a while ago and need to do it again. I was consistent on one, the other few was few and far between.

At any rate, it was suggested to me to use an oil base and a few drops of the oregano oil and apply it to the skin tag. Seeing as I was impatient, I just applied the oregano oil (neat...no base)a couple times a day. It did sting yet it worked quicker (I believe) than if it had the olive (or whichever) oil base. That tag has not returned.

Actually, I have been thinking I need to do it again. I have 2 bigger ones on my neck I would like gone. Also, one under each underarm...one of them is recent?...although, underarm might sting when wearing clothes. So, not sure how I will work that one out.

ACV gets them off faster than lugols.

This feedback is all very helpful. Thank you all. I will check back later to see if anyone eles had an idea. Ann

Pull a hair out of your head. Tie around the tag, as close to the body as possible, as tight as possibly can. This may take a little practice. Five to seven days later the tag is painlessly gone. No fuss no muss. The tag will simply turn dark and fall off.
