If you have tiny pieces of flesh poking out from your neck, armpits or even around your eyes chances are you have something called a skin tag.
Skin tags are completely normal and harmless pieces of skin that almost everyone in the world will experience at least once in their life. Babies are born with them, middle-aged people can suddenly develop them, and you might have had one for as long as you can remember.
The removal of such things can be easy or complicated, depending on the route you take. Some of the options for removal are cutting, tying off with thread, freezing and using a cream.
There are a few products on the market that target skin tag removal and surprisingly, some of them are creams which may seem a little silly. Just rub some lotion on it and it goes away? Sounds a bit too good to be true, doesn’t it?
Well, it’s not! These creams do exist and while they may seem the stuff of magic and fairy tales they are very much real and effective against skin tags.
Skin tag removal creams are designed to attack the skin tag from the root. This means they go deep into your skin and work on removing the offending protrusion by working from within. Many skin tag removal creams use natural ingredients so you don’t need to worry about using harsh chemicals on sensitive areas of your body like your face.
As well, skin tag removal creams work hard without hurting or scarring your skin. This is definitely the best option if you’ve got a pesky skin tag on a delicate area like your face or neck.
Now as with all good things, there are downsides as well. Creams are not known for their quickness so if you are planning to go this route you will need to be patient. It takes time to deconstruct something from a cellular level and that’s what these creams do. Some other downsides are that the natural ingredients can have a strong smell to them. Tea Tree Oil, for example, will have a very strong smell and it’s not always the most pleasant scent around.

Other skin tag removal creams may not have such a strong smell like Tea Tree Oil does, but they will have some sort of odor. This is definitely something to take into consideration when deciding what product is best for you to remove that annoying skin tag.
