I : I know of no ointments or creams that capable of removing skin tags. This is usually accomplished with surgical excision. Most of the time this is a simple procedure and often does not even require sutures.

Greetings! I have psoriasis. I have a patch of psoriasis on my arm slightly less than the size of a quarter. For at least two weeks maybe three weeks there has been a scab over the spot.
