In addition to home remedies, over-the-counter (OTC) treatment options for skin tag removal are available. The most common are topical creams and liquids which contain salicylic acid and can be applied directly to the skin tag. Another option is a freezing kit, similar to those used by doctors, which works by freezing and thus killing the skin tag cells.

These treatments generally take several days to work and may cause minor skin irritation. Remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter and consult a dermatologist or pharmacist for advice if unsure.
