Last year we learned that over 50% of adults will experience skin tags at least once in their lifetime. Commonly found on areas like the back of neck, under the arms and even on the eyelids, these redundant growths of excess skin, though thankfully benign, might cause some irritation or insecurity.
Going into a doctor’s office, especially for something largely cosmetic, isn’t always accessible to all people, so board-certified dermatologists suggested some products that may help get rid of skin tags at home or help prevent them altogether.
You can learn more about the removal process from some of our previous coverage or keep reading straight ahead to the recommended skin tag removal options.
A note of caution: Many of the board-certified dermatologists that we spoke with confirmed that there are no FDA-approved over-the-counter skin tag treatments and the treatments that do exist may potentially cause skin injury, including scars, discoloration and infection — so it’s important to consult with medical healthcare professionals in situations where skin tags are large, abundant or may more than just a skin tag.
