I used this method for a large skin tag (those little pieces of skin that grow on your neck, underarms, etc.) and it worked. The trick is to get the string tight enough to cut off circulation because once it's on, it's hard to remove without cutting yourself. It takes a couple weeks for the skin tag to come off. Before falling off it turns color. One it falls off, your skin is smooth and there's usually a tiny red mark that disappears in a few days.

Yes it does work and also if its aggitaiting you, you can get it cut off at the doctors but this can leave a scar and sometimes hurts a little.

The best way is to have a doctor do it. Why? Foremost, he or she will have it sent to a lab for a biopsy. A string would not be able to remove "clean margins," i.e., get all the cells that caused the mole to grow in the first place. If you use string, there will be cells comprised of the same type of cells remaining, most likely underneath the skin level. So...in time the mole will grow back in the very same spot. There's also a risk of blood loss, scarring, and infection, which could leave you septic (very very ill). A good plastic surgeon can remove it, taking care to get it all and leave you with only minor scarring. I'm no doctor, can't stand them. But, I've had several moles removed from my face and elsewhere. One turned out to contain cells that were pre-cancerous, the type that becomes malignant melanoma. I had gone in to have another mole removed, but the doctor's trained eye most likely saved my life. Fair skinned people with blue or green eyes with lots of moles die from skin cancer (basil cell and malignant melanoma) in record numbers compared to other types. True redheads have the greatest risk. Please...see a doctor!
