ā Not for use on the face or genitals without doctor approval.
šØ When to See a Dermatologist
See a professional if:
The growth is dark, bleeding, or painful
It grows quickly
Youāre unsure if itās a skin tag (could be a mole, wart, or skin cancer)
Itās in a sensitive area (eyelid, genitals)
š A dermatologist can remove it safely and confirm itās benign.
Final Thoughts
Skin tags are common, harmless, and usually just a cosmetic concern.
But your skin deserves safe, respectful care ā not risky home hacks that could leave scars or cause infections.
While the idea of removing a skin tag with a candle might sound simple, itās not safe or effective.
Instead, choose a proven method ā whether itās a professional procedure or an FDA-cleared OTC freezing kit.
Because true beauty isnāt about quick fixes.
Itās about taking care of yourself ā the smart, safe way.
