What can you do about an infected skin tag?

Answer by  Daniel87 (17)

I have used this family remedy several times on skin tags. Have someone tie a piece of thread at the base of the skin tag. It will be uncomfortable, but have them tie it as tightly as you can stand. Within a few days the skin tag, will just fall off.

You have to go to a dermatologist and they will remove it without having complications. The procedure is simple and it can be done in one visit and without you feeling any discomfort, af course depending on how bad the infection of the skin tag is.

Coming from someone who once had one, the best thing to do is to go to the doctor and have them remove it. They will also prescribe an antiobiotic to combat the infection. Doing it yourself could possibly make it worse.

That's not the best idea, you can go see your doctor about it, it's a simple procedure to remove a skin tag.
