A member asked:
What do you suggest if i have a skin tag below my brow bone (just below my eyebrow but the procedure in removing a skin tag and does it hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numb, snip: In my practice, I treat skin tags by injecting numbing medicine (like Novacaine at the dentist) into the base of the tag with a tiny needle. This stings a little. Then I snip off the tag and lightly cauterize the base so it does not bleed. Neither the snipping nor the cauterizing hurts at all.
