Can you remove a skin tag mole by yourself?

A skin tag is different from a mole. Skin tags form when a group of collagen cells get trapped under the skin. Larger skin tags need to be removed by a trained medical professional. However, there are at-home treatment options for smaller ones.

Both tea tree oil and castor oil are effective natural treatment options for skin tags. Simply rub the oil over the skin tag on a daily basis and it will disappear in a few weeks. Most pharmacies carry tea tree oil and castor oil.

Some people remove skin tags with nail clippers. This is not advisable, as infection and scarring could develop.
