Please tell me can doctors prescribe anything to remove skin tags?

Surgical excision : Most skin tags are merely shaved off with sharp scissors or a knife if they are raised. Sometimes they are flat or more pigmented these can sometimes be treated with lasers.

Easy solutions : Skin tags are benign and easily treated some can be frozen like a wart, some can be held in a tweezers and sliced off quickly with a little Lidocaine and scalpel blade and some can be electro cauterized. All are quick nearly painless ways of removing skin tags.
