At home skin tag removal.?

Ive read several at home remedies to get rid of skin tags. Which one works the best and/or fastest. Ive got a larger (maybe the size of a baby pea) and i want to get rid of it but apparently my doc is going to charge me an arm and a leg because it considered cosmetic surgery. Ridiculous! Ive heard the string thing, how long does that take? Can I use Compound W? What about that nail polish theory? Please only answer if you yourself have used these methods. And I know, I know, I should be doing this at the docs office but unless you want to send me the 105 dollars hes going to charge me, I need something else!!! Thanks!

    Ok I did this!!!!!!!!!!!

    I had a HUGE disgusting skin tag in my armpit....

    This is what you do and trust me it works and doesnt hurt!

    Sterilize the area with rubbing alchohol.

    Tie a piece of dental floss around the skin tag, and tie it as tight as you can stand it and as close to the base as you can. Dont pull the skin tag out when you do this. Sterilize again.

    Get some small scissors (like eyebrow scissors) or nail clippers and cut as close to the tag as possible. Sterilize again.

    Remove the floss, you might experience some bleeding but it shouldnt be that bad.

    Put a bandaid on and voila! Gone :)
