Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away Skin Tag Remover (8 Ct) - Ingredients; Dimethyl Ether, Propane, Isobutane

this is the 4th time ive purchased this product and its for some reason not working. I'm desperate ive went to the doctor and they suggested this or to tie it with dental floss and this is the only route I have the nerve to do. wish it would just work since it's 20 bucks each box. ight

For the last few years, I had lots of small skin tags on my neck. This kit works, but you do have to follow the instructions and be very careful. The Q-tip ends are rather bulky so if you have small skin tags, it's easy to burn the skin around it. I followed doctors instructions and touched the skin tags with the Q-tip until they turn white and begin to freeze. Then I lifted it away and applied it again for a combination of 40 seconds. I think if you hold it down for an entire 40 seconds, it would burn this surrounding skin. Because my skin tags were very small, holding it with a tweezer did not work at all. Rather very carefully applying the Q-tip and acid to the top and all sides of the skin tag worked. One fell off after the first treatment. A second one after a second treatment. I just did the third treatment and all the little ones have already turned black so I expect them to fall in the next 10 days or so. You do have to be patient. And be very careful to get enough acid on the Q-tips so that it's effective. Buy them from Walmart. I purchased one of the kits from Amazon and it was not good at all. But the ones from my local Walmart were all fresh packages worked well. Little tip – use one Q-tip per skin tag. Wait two weeks and then you can buy another kit and retreat. It says you can actually treat each skin tag up to four times. I waited a few days the first time and then the full two weeks for the remaining treatments. This is an excellent choice when you have skin tags that are bothering you %26 don't necessarily want to spend a ton of money at the doctors office. I believe they charge per skin tag and I had many those small.

Results varied on a tag by tag basis. Two small tags shriveled, turned brown and wiped off in a week. A larger tag was mostly gone in three weeks after two applications, but left a slight remnant of itself in place (95% gone, though). Some other tags did not respond, but I'll try again. Users beware that the instructions call for you to use tweezers to pull the tag away from the skin while you apply the product to the stem of the tag. Imagine doing this in the armpit region! You'll need an assistant to tackle tags in this area.

It didn't hurt duing the freezing process, but it hurts afterwards. i feel like i want to rip these skun tags off because the skin around then is SO irritated! One fell off so far. It healed ok. These remaining ones are torture. Maybe i should have done one at a time?

This did not work at all, but it left a nice sore on the skin under the skin tag. I finally just used regular ice to freeze it and my husband snipped it off with some sharp scissors. Should have done it that way the first time. Much quicker and easier, and free!!!
