I'm curious how people apply this to skin tags...so you put it on a bandaid? I don't want the oil getting on my clothing. Also, I think it stinks!

It does stink. But I used a q tip. Held it uner the bottle to soak with oil and applied. Seemed to work well

It does smell but I only use at bedtime, I have never used on skin tag just nails. I would just put small amount on tag & not cover, let it dry a little.

I dab it on with a qtip and let it soak in before I get dressed in the morning and again at night. It does have kinda of funky smell to it, but it's too bad.

Hi, Michelle. I am NOT a doctor nor medical professional of any kind. I am simply sharing my experiences with skin tags. I have found two things that removed my skin tags. One is to use an item for freezing warts. The trick is to grab the skin tag by it's end and gently stretch it away from the skin. At the narrowest point of the stretch, apply the freezing. I used two doses, and it worked, the tag fell off a few days later. It left behind a very small, minor discoloration. The other method is to again gently stretch the tag away from the skin and have someone else tie a thin string (or a thread) around it at it's narrowest part (double or triple knot it). They must tie it quite tightly or it won't work (this can be tricky). THIS WILL HURT for a few minutes. After a few days the tag turns black and falls off. Only once did this method leave behind a small "spot." Good luck!

Personally, I don't think it's good for anything. I still have a mark on my arm from wearing it for only 20 minutes almost a year ago. Proceed at your own risk.

I just got it, and it says "hand wash only" on the tag. I might still try putting it on delicate in my machine then air drying.

please do not. it may be harsh for the skin. if you want to remove bandage residues why do not you try baby oil?

I tried it on a wart gained from the gym and located above my wrist. I used it for a time and just gave up. I have never used it on a skin tag.

oh I have no idea - I'm a hand cream maker. Since the oil is rather on the warm side I'd say that would work well. I just found that putting it in hand cream burned.

I think it would freeze a larger area than a skin tag, this would probably not be good for the surrounding skin. I think this would be a bad idea to use on a skin tag, especially on the face

It is an ointment which is kind of greasy like Vaseline type product. I did not bandage and not sure you are supposed to. Actually I did not find it to be helpful at all but perhaps that was just me.

Made mine worse. Maybe works better for some people. Wouldn't use this if you have sensitive skin. If you just have extra oil but no sensitivity maybe you'd be okay using it.

I did not think it smelled good enough to use for that, but I have read other people do. Your skin may have a reaction if the oil is to strong, so use caution. If I'm out of my regular Vanilla body spray, I use Vanilla Extract instead. Just a dab here and there.

Leave it on, if you can STAND it! It made my skin so itchy I had to wash it off soon after applying it, because it felt so awful.

You have to be very careful with it, as it heats up incredibly quickly. I have used it for removing skin tags and very tiny cysts. Hold it near (a few millimeters) whatever you're going to use it on, press the button to heat up the tip, then lightly touch the tip to the item you want to burn. You will probably only want to make contact for a second or less, when you hear the sizzle from whatever is burning. Start with only a brief application--be careful not to overdo it. Hope this helps.

I use Shout Advanced and let it sit on there for hours or overnight. Works well. Yes, it's a chemical... but in this case- I think it's worth it! Got red melted dye candle wax out of a vintage white table cloth!

I put it directly on my skin. I use it religiously on my thumbs. Get creative so you don't have to hold it all the time. I prop it on a blanket next to my thumb. My sister props hers on a pillow so it touches her knee. Try setting it up whatever way you can. Holding it on my neck is tricky, but I try to find a good position and relax. I haven't tried to use it over my clothes, but it works through my puppy's fur.
