How To Treat Skin Tags

Skin Tag Removal Kits

Skin tag removal kits are also used to remove unwanted skin tags. These kits are made for do-it-yourself applications of products sometimes used by medical professionals. There’s a freezing kit with liquid nitrogen as the active ingredient, and these kits are available for purchase without a prescription. This spray should only be applied to the growth and kept away from surrounding skin. Petroleum jelly can be applied around the tag to protect the skin. Repeated applications may be necessary, and it may take up to ten days for the growth to fall off. Creams are also available in over the counter skin tag removal kits, and they usually come with an applicator. The procedure is fairly simple and usually requires only one application. Note, patients may have to file down a portion of the growth before application, as this ensures maximum absorption of the cream. The cream may sting a bit upon application, but it's temporary and mild. It can take up to three weeks for skin tags to fall off.
