A member asked:
Can you cut off a skin tag at home? or also using dental floss to tie it off and it falls off?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Tying a skin tag at its base tightly will inevitably cause the skin tag to die and drop off within 7-10 days

Yes, you can do it if you think you can tie it hard enough. Otherwise, you can buy a cheap device on Amazon and it can do the job.
