Hi there, Joyce, from Houston I would probably go with an "old folks" method of removing them. Tie a piece of white sewing thread (preferably cotton) tightly around base where attached to skin. Cutting off the circulation to the skin tag causes gangrene of the skin tag and it drops off in 3-4 days & there is a very small spot left that is mostly healed at that time. You might want to modify the way your bra fits during this time so the area gets more exposure to air. Another possibility (I haven't tried this myself) comes from Edgar Casey, who said rubbing castor oil thoroughly into any growth 3 times per day removes them. Don't have any idea how long this might take.
