Will bleed: Multiple tags can be removed in one visit safely .The doctor will numb area with Lidocaine and remove with sterile scissors and cauterize any bleeding spots.

Skin tags: Some doctors may prefer to use cryosurgery to freeze the skin tags off the underarm area especially for patients who are nervous about needles.
