Brief Answer:
Electrocautery

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
Thank you for writing to us on HCM.
Skin tags are nothing but benign growth of skin which presents as out-pouching of excess skin.
The best treatment would be removal via a machine called electrocautery/radiofrequency cautery. Make sure you get it done from a certified dermatologist only.
Hope the information was useful.
Thank you
