Skin Tags: Defined, Cause, and Removal.
An acrochordon (plural acrochorda, and also known as a (cutaneous) skin tag, or fibroepithelial polyp) is a small benign tumor that forms primarily in areas where the skin forms creases, such as the neck, armpit, and groin. They may also occur on the face, usually on the eyelids. Ref.
Now for a quick discourse on the cause of such a growth. I will bring to you words from Dr. Peter Glidden BS, ND; a Naturopathic Doctor.
"The answer is, olive oil is the cause. Well, you know, inflamitory biochemicals (oxygen free radicals) in the body are the cause. Whenever there is an overgrowth of tissue in the body, I don't care if it's an overgrowth in the colon, called a polyup; I don't care if its on the skin; I don't care if it's on the overarys; I don't care where it is. An overgrowth of a tissue is the result of not enough neutrients and inflamation. Theres an inflamitory process happening..." Ref.

Removal Options.
You have some options here where it comes to removing the little buggars. There are resources out there that advocate burning or freezing, both of which would take you to a physician for a clean safe procedure. But this is about avoiding expensive medical procedures and doing it yourself at home.
- You could use a string to 'suffocate' it, but would not prevent another from forming nearby.
- There is also the option of cutting it off, though, again, this does not prevent another from forming.
- Prayer has been demonstrated to heal many things, and is not to be discouraged.
- Healing crystals... I am not versed or familiar with this type of healing.
- There are two homeopathic methods recommended by Dr. Peter Glidden BS ND. I will share these.
Removal Option 1 (temporary Solution)
What you will need:
1 capsule Selenium powder
10 drops Colloidal Silver
1 small container
1 cotton swab
1 band-aid
1 large baby food jar
Mix the contents of the capsule with 10 drops of colloidal silver.
Mix with cotton swab until bright maroon.
Apply paste to skin tag.
Cover with small band-aid.
Store unused paste in the baby food jar, or similar container, to keep solution from drying out.
Re-apply three times per day. The tag should off before the week is out, if not, give it two weeks.
FYI: my90forlife.com seems to have stopped selling the Ultimate Colloidal Silver Plus, check your local health and nutrition store, or search online for another reputable vendor. Or make your own... Amazingly simple. Thank you SuicidalBarrelRoll.

Removal Option 2 (Permanant Solution)
I do appologize for the picture, we are short two bottles of Selenium for this instructable.
"Your body fights the inflammatory processes with a group of biochemicals called anti-oxidants. We have all have heard of anti-oxidants, Vitamin C being the most famous... Well Vitamin C is a potent anti-oxidant, but the mineral Selenium makes Vitamin C look like a pip-squeak. Because Selenium makes your body recycle its own natural really powerful anti-oxidant called glutathione... When you have enough Selenium in your blood, your body recycles glutathione, and uses it to its maximum efficiency. Which is why Selenium is such a powerful anti-cancer drug. 200mg of Selenium reduces the occurrence of breast cancer by 82 percent, colon cancer by 69 percent, prostate cancer by 64 percent, and lung cancer by 39 percent. Even if you're a smoker. That's remarkable, those are remarkable statistics, because of its anti inflammatory properties. Completely natural, 100 percent. Supports and promotes your bodies natural anti-oxidants.
"So, where I am going with this, with the whole skin tag thing; I know I beat around the bush. That is just how I do it. If you add Selenium into your diet, as a nutritional supplement, and clean your diet up... Stop the inflammatory foods. Stop eating the 10 bad foods yesterday. Get 1 Healthy Start Pack and 1 bottle Plant Derived Minerals per 100 pounds of body weight per month, and 4 bottles of Ultimate Selenium a month. Your skin tags will begin to fall off.
"Why? Because they're not natural. They are like overgrowths of tissue. It's not a natural thing that the body does. It's the result of an imbalance. And when you rectify the imbalance, they fall off. I've had lots of testimonials, myself included, with people getting on board with a solid medical nutrition program and skin tags just fall off. Uterine polyps go away, ovarian polyps disappear, polyps in the colon shrink and shrivel up, and life is good again.
"We don't get these things because we have a bad gene. We don't get these things because we have a voodoo curse. We don't get these things because we live in a polluted environment, or because we are getting older. We get these things because we are eating the wrong food all the time. We don't know any better. Our bodies are completely depleted of the raw materials they need to keep themselves healthy. It is really that simple."
