Raised Skin Bumps, and How to Remove Skin Tags

Skin tags.  I've seen these on diabetics and cancer patients.  A friend is worrying about how they appear on the skin.  How are these removed.  Should they be removed surgically, and if so, will they grow back?  Or, does a topical medical ointment that works?  If not these options, can I recommend a friend a specific supplement that eliminates these from the skin?  

Topicals do exist but the results don't sound convincing.  They are apple cider vinegar, crushed garlic, banana peel (?, wow), vitamin E (makes sense), and tea tree oil.  Hmm.  Interesting.  

This was interesting, a home kit surgical kit using freezing temperatures.  

Freezing kits use cryotherapy (the use of extremely low temperatures) to destroy unwanted skin tissue.

“Benign lesions, like skin tags, require temperatures of −4°F to −58°F to destroy them,” Mokaya said.

She recommends looking for an OTC wart or skin tag removal kit that will reach the lowest temperature when used appropriately. Finally, Mokaya points out that removal creams and cryotherapy can cause irritation and contact dermatitis, but they can still be effective for short-term use.
