Anyone know of a home remedy, other than snipping with clippers, to remove skin tags on the neck? I have three or four and I hate them!

Tie some thread around the base of the skin tag where it meets the 'normal' skin, secure it with a knot, this cuts off the blood supply to the skin tag and in time it will simply fall of due to no blood being supplied to it

I am going to add to this one too. This has been a proven "therapy" but make sure you use neosporin or some other antibacterial ointment. It keeps the infection at bay. My g-pa used to over exfoliate in that area with a pumice stone. It worked for him. Wart remover is a bit more powerful but it works too.

I have heard of coating them with clear nail polish, but I haven't tried it myself (although I need to!)
