Any kind of skin deformity is a cause of embarrassment for the bearer, especially if it happens to be in some part of the body that can't be suitably hidden.
A visit to doctor's clinic or a day at the beach would convince you of that.
But, having skin tags, an abnormality of the skin should not be cause of worry as there are many remedial measures available.
As a matter of fact some of these are so easy that people opt to get rid of skin tags at home, without the help of any specialist.
Fortunately, most of the skin tags are harmless and cause no pain.
They are more of a cosmetic nuisance at the most.
It is a tiny speck of skin that protrudes from the body.
Most often they appear on those parts that get rubbed too often against some part of clothing.
Typical example will be area under the breasts as wires of the bra keep rubbing there almost the whole day, or the groin area if tight clothing keeps rubbing against the skin there.
They may appear on the eyelids or area around the eyes too.
You may have them removed by a doctor.
The different techniques that doctors follow include: freezing, cutting and laser surgery plus many more.
However, you should understand that no insurance policy covers such treatments and having them treated by doctors is an expensive proposition.
The other easy option is to remove them on your own at home by one of the many home treatments available.
These are very affordable and effective, causing no pain.
One of the simplest ways of getting rid of a skin-tag is to cut off its blood supply by tightly tying a thread at its base and let it die a natural death.
