Skin tags: Either one should be fine although i don't know how effective this particular modality will be.

Question 2

how do i apply apple cider vinegar to get rid of my skin tags in my armpits?

Accepted Answer

Interesting...: Haven&#x27;t heard of any edible or drinkable vinegar being effective in getting rid of skin tags. Best to have one&#x27;s primary care doctor look at them to see if they are warts or whatnot. A doctor can help remove skin tags.

Question 3

hi there. i hear apple cider vinegar can remove skin tags on the face if applied and soaked for 30 minutes at a time. is it true and is it safe? im afraid to damage the skin on my face.

Accepted Answer

Try it?: I have not known this to be effective but doubt it would cause any harm to try it on one that is inconspicuous.  But I would recommend skin tag removal in the office with freezing or clipping - it usually gives very good results and is fast.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Skin tags: Skin tags are simply redundant skin that cause protuberances, often around areas that are frequently rubbed by clothing or are traumatized by friction. They often occur around the neck, under the arms and on the buttocks. When these skin tags get traumatized, they can get inflamed and very painful, or they can bleed. They can usually be easily removed under local anesthesia in a doctor's office.
