A member asked:
Can i take a skin tag off myself?

See below: Dermatologists usually don't recommend this, but if the stalk of the tag is very narrow, you could use a nail clipper or tighten a thread around the stalk. If you do this, you do run the risk of infection.

Depends: Depends on size of skin tag and the availability of clean instruments.

Yes: But if your instruments aren't sharp enough or clean enough you will regret it.
