What happens when you tie a..

I know it's suppose to kill the circulation and die off, but what actually happens does it puss up or just turn black or blue and die?

My boyfriend had skin tags under his arms. He asked me to tie a piece of thread tightly around the base of the tags. Within 4 days, the tags had "died" due to lack of blook supply. They turned black, and he just pulled them off his skin. No pus, no blood, no pain, no problem!

I wouldn't do anything like that without medical advice

I guess it depends on how big the skin tab is. If it is too big, I think a regular doctor can cut it off but if it's little just tie a piece of thread around it at night when you go to sleep and it should fall off by the morning. It shouldn't puss if you wash the area and your hands really well with alcohol. Good luck!

It turns black from lack of circulation and dies. Once it's black, you can tug on it and it will come off.

I wouldn't advise you to do this, go to your doctor, its a simple procedure, if you try to do this yourself you may get an infection then end up paying out more money than if you had went to the doctor to begin with.
