if i clip a skintag(exterio. mole attached with a tiny piece of skin) is there anything i should be worried ab

Question:

Answers:
If the skin tag is flesh tone, you can clip it off if you are careful. If pigment is darker than your skin color, see a doctor. DO NOT REMOVE IT as skin cancer should be ruled out just to be safe. Otherwise, put your clippers in boiling water for 10 minutes. Clean the skin with antibacterial soap. My husband gets skin tags on his face and I remove them. After I clean his skin I also use an alcohol swab on the clippers and the skin tags. After clipping I again use an alcohol swab. I use one of those square sterile bandages to apply pressure on any areas that might be bleeding after the tags are removed. I had one spot where the bleeding wasn't stopping and we used a steptic pencil on it. That did the job. Only use that if necessary. You don't want any chance of infection. If there are any signs of infection in the following days, see a doctor.

Other Answers:
bleeding i suppose. also sterilize your clippers so you don't infect it.

my mom had those! when i was little i would always pick @ them and she told me that she would get cancer if i pulled them off-to this day i think she told me that so i would'n't pick @ them but she recently bought some wort treatment (i know it's not for moles but still) and that helped!! they just came off!!
use that>>>>don't pull it. ya never know. oh' and using the wort treatment, it came off in about 2 weeks.
