Suggest Home Remedies For Skin Tag On Upper Lip
Hi I have a skin tag on the corner of my upper lip. I've had it for years but just recently close friends and family have noticed it. It seems to be getting buyer and occasionally hurts. Is this something I should be concerned about? Are there any home remedies I can use to remove it on my own safely?

welcome,
There r multiple varieties of skin tags.
it should be better if u have told about time of ur first notice.
whether painless or painful??
whether static or increasing?
whether bleeds or not?
Anyway most of the time its just a simple scaly growth, but in rare cases it may be a serious one.
U can have it to be surgically removed, but do not try ur self, it may cause bleeding.
better to consult ur nearest doctor .
