How come people bleed badly after the skin tag is removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally you don't : Unless you are on blood thinners or have some other reason to bleed more freely, removing a skin tag should not lead to significant blood loss. Skin tags with a wider base tend to hurt and bleed a little more when removed. Most run-of-the-mill skin tags bleed very little if at all when removed.
