How To Treat Skin Tags On Neck And Top Of Legs?

i have unsightly skin tags on my neck and the top of my legs - will my doctor remove these at the surgery or will I need to pay privately to have them removed. I bought some formu clear and used it as instructed and it has not made any difference at all. Are there any over the counter products you would recommend that actually work With thanks

Hi there, most likely skin tag removal (if cosmetic) as this sounds like, is elective and thus you would have to pay privately to have them removed. There is not any over the counter product I am aware of that would work for this issue, as usually they must be surgically excised.
