You may have heard that you can remove the skin tags using the dental floss method. Yes, you are right. But I would like to warn you of a few things before you even try to do it.
1. You May Get Infection
When you tie a string around the skin tags, it creates a cut around the stalk. This may catch bacteria and other germs and hence cause an infection.
2. It is very Painful
Like I said above, when you tie the tag, it cuts the blood supply by constricting the blood vessels. This is often extremely painful. People have even untied within a few hours because they could not tolerate the pain.
3. Other Risks
There are other risks associated with the dental floss method. Before you try this method you must make sure that the skin tag is a benign tag and is not cancerous.
It is therefore recommended not to use the dental floss method. Instead use a natural, safe and herbal over the counter product.
You may have a look at the H-Skin tag formula.
