Turns out i have a skin tag..

i triend tieing it off but it hurt a lot and i had to take it off.is tieing it off supposed to be that painful? and if i decide to have it surgically removed how log does it take to heal? and for those of you who cut it off yourself :0 hoe painful was it?

My boss had some on his underarms. His doctor cut them off with some scissors. He said some hurt & others didn't as much. One bled. You shouldn't tie it off...it could become infected. A doctor would do it in a clean enviorment with clean instruments. They healed just like a normal little cut.

Acrochordons should be removed by a surgeon. the best method is cryosurgery (freezing), also can be don by excision, burning, or ... Yes tying off the stem to cut off the blood supply, but it has to be done by a doctor, all of these are minor surgeries
