I did enquire about them at the drug store. My pharmacist said if they are small and the hanging kind the kits work good. She also said they don't work on big ones or ones close to the body. Since mine are like bubbles on the skin, not hanging and don;t bother me, I never tried the kits

Now I have the itchies! My cats don't get them because they don't get out, but DH does get them on him. I have found the best way to remove them is to get good tweezers and light a match. Let the match burn until the wood is red (use a wood match, not a cardboard one) and then blow it out. Working quickly, hold the hot end of the match near the tick (with your left hand) and squeeze and *gently* pull the tick with the tweezers in your right hand (assuming you are right handed). The heat from the match will make the tick back out just enough so you can pull it out intact. This works like a charm (learned after a few infections from tick heads). With a cat you will obviously have to have someone hold the cat and the fur aside. I would wet the fur in that area also. I would clean the spot and watch it to make sure it doesn't get red, take him to the vet if it does. Nasty little beasts (the tick, not the cat!).

I have a very small wart on the inside of my left ring finger, at the first joint. Doesn't really bother me. But I have one on my left leg near the shin bone. It is flat and about the size of a dime. Doesn't bother me except in the summer when I'm wearing shorts. Looks gross, even though it is skin colored and rather smooth. I asked the dermo doc about it and he said: "leave it alone, it is just a wart!" But I want it gone. I read in the newspaper recently, the Doc who replaced Dr. Gott wrote about warts. His advice was to use duct tape, the silver, not the clear. Cover the wart with DT. Leave it 6 days. Remove it and soak and file the wart. Leave it uncovered overnight, then cover with DT in the morning. Repeat for 6 days. Do this for 6 months or until the wart is gone. Not very practical for most people. I might try it. If it works it should be gone by summer. Sue

I just found this article maybe it will help someone here: How to remove skin tags..... I haven't tried these.. 3 Herbal Treatments to remove skin tags that actually work .. in this article I am going to focus on herbal remedies to treat skin tags. The upside to herbal remedies is that they are less invasive than other "fast" remedies. The downside is that they take a little more time and consistency in order for them to work.... Tea Tree Oil- Tea tree oil works very well for removing skin tags as well as moles. In fact, tea tree oil is used on various skin disorders. To use this all you need is a little tea tree oil and a cotton ball. Soak the cotton ball in the oil and apply it directly to the affected area. Do this once or twice daily for up to 4 weeks or until the skin tag vanishes. Castor Oil- Most of you are too young to remember castor oil but this oil was used on a wide variety of common ailments and can be taken both internally and externally. The good news is that you will be using castor oil as an external ointment (I still shudder whenever I think of drinking that stuff). Here is what you will do. Take a little baking soda and mix it with the castor oil to create a paste. I suggest you add some citrus oil as it will stink to high heaven. Apply it to the affected area and cover with a band-aid. The typical time it will take is 2-4 weeks before the skin tag vanishes. Apple Cider Vinegar-Apple cider vinegar works very well for removing skin tags and the good news is that you can buy it in a grocery store for fairly cheap. Just like tea tree oil, you simply dab some of it on a q-tip or cotton ball and apply it directly to the skin tag. Unlike the tea tree oil, Apple Cider vinegar may cause a stinging sensation for a couple minutes after being applied. Typical time until the skin tag vanishes?....2-4 weeks. Those are just 3 herbal treatments that you can use to remove skin tags. If you don't mind waiting a couple weeks and can discipline yourself to treating the skin tag at least once a day, then these will naturally treat your skin tags from your home. 3 Herbal Treatments to remove skin tags that actually work I could go over the typical remove a skin with duct tape or fingernail polish and they do work but can be painful.
