Works for skin tags!!!
A few reviews mentioned using this for skin tags so I figured I'd give it a whirl. I had one small skin tag that was hanging on by a thin piece of skin but it felt like it would be too painful to cut off, so I tried applying this gel to that, plus two large annoying moles on my neck and my back twice a day for about 4 days. I can say that during that period, the skin tag effectively dried up and scabbed off, but the moles only really decreased in diameter. I bet if I continued to use the gel consistently, I could get them off, but they are so small now they don't really bother me anymore. Here's what you need to know: 1) this stuff burns! It's not the most comfortable process - but I trusted the Compound W brand and allowed it to do its job. 2) this stuff will leave a bright white film where it is applied. Do not peel it off until it comes off naturally - there may be a scab forming underneath. But keep in mind you will have weird white stuff on your neck or wherever you apply it for like a week. 3) The scab may bleed. Mine bled a little bit here and there but healed up nicely. All that said, I'd 100% recommend this for skin tags but for moles I would recommend that someone just go to the dermatologist for removal as that would probably be faster, less painful, and cleaner.
