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

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.

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

Reply:I had mine checked and removed at the doctors, he said the little tags ,I could have done myself , sterile scissors and alcohol
Reply:It is fine, just clip it off and you will never know it was there. I ahd one and went to a doctor and he made a big deal out of oit and was goping to run some tests and then schedule out patient surgery. I got disgusted and cut it off. That was 12 years ago and I had forgotten the entire incident until reading your question. Just clean the area with alcohol and strelize whatever you are going to cut it off with.
Reply:Just keep it clean, use scissors cleaned with alcohol, wash the area well with soap and water and watch that it doesn't become red or irritated. Dermatologists no longer recommend cleaning with Hydrogen Peroxide unless you rinse it off afterwards (which you certainly can do), but you need to put somethin over it to keep it moist until it heals. My dermatologist just recommends Vaseline.
