Skin tags (acrochordons) are growth that comes along with aging. There are no known causes for the growth of skin tags but is referred to as a benign growth which is often described as bits of flesh or skin tissue that protrudes from the surrounding skin.

Skin tags are growth that hangs on a person’s skin with a stalk. Even if there are varieties in appearance, majority of skin tags are slightly wrinkled and smooth with little irregularities.

There are a number of different areas of the body where you might have skin tags.  Unfortunately, they can occur in areas where we really would rather not have to deal with them.  It would be one thing if they occurred on the arm or in the middle of the chest but in many cases, they occurred in areas such as the genitals, underneath where our clothing rubs and even our eyelids.  In order to get rid of the skin tags , people of tried a variety of different methods.  Some of these methods are quick and effective and others are nothing more than a time waster.

Here's one method of skin tag removal that works very well.

In order to get rid of the skin tag the easiest way for you to do it is to cut off the life force from entering into it.  A skin tag is really nothing more than a benign tumor that is growing on the body.  It has nerve endings on the inside and there is blood flowing through it, similar to any appendage of our body.  If you were to tie a string around the base of the skin tag you would effectively cut off the blood flow and eventually, the skin tag would die.

You need to make sure that you are using the right type of string whatever you are doing this.  A very small, strong string would work rather well but you may also want to use fishing line or perhaps dental floss.  If you are unable to tie the string tightly around the base of the skin tag because of its size, you might want to consider asking somebody else to help you to do so.

Leave the string on for several days and if the string happens to fall off, make sure that you replace it as quickly as possible.  Eventually, the lack of blood to this area is going to pay off and the skin tag will turn black, dry up and fall off.

On rare occasions, there may be times whenever the skin tag returns in the same area.  Simply repeat the procedure as soon as the skin tag appears and is large enough for you to be able to get a string around it.  Eventually, the skin tag will be gone for good and then you can move on to more important things in your life.
