[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2344756, member: 345386"] Several years ago, I had some skin tags removed by a plastic surgeon. To be clear, it's usually a very simple procedure but one was on literally on the very edge of a lower eyelid, and the general surgeon (who was also my GP a the time) said he wouldn't touch my face and so was referred on. Probably due to an insurer paying I had a bit of a strip search to find any anywhere which were all done at once. I looked like I have been caught by shrapnel, as the plastics guy recommended to my insurers that I have a couple of moles removed from my face at the same time. The tags have never regrown. Iodine was never suggested as an option to me, and I read there isn't much scientific evidence to support the practice. To be honest, Ann, I think the most appropriate way to remove a skin tag really depends on it's size, location, whether or not there are associated symptoms and whether or not there are histological concerns. A chat with your Doc could be in order. [/QUOTE]
