What Happens If A Skin Tag Gets Infected And Bleeds?
I have a skin tag that I was told would fall off if I tied dental floss around it, Well I did that and now it is painful, and oozing...i am assuming that it is infected and I do have a doctors appointment in 5 days. I am scared to wait that long, should I just go to the hospital or will it be ok if i cover it with a bandaid and wait..it is kind of painful also

By all means get to the hospital, infection isn't something that you want going on for any length of time, as it can become gangrenous, which will cause even more problems for you. Please don't do this again. It isn't true that you can just tie something around it. Sorry. Hope this helps, good luck to you.

I would peroxide it and put neo-sporin on it or bacitracin. Keep it covered with a band-aid..if it continues to ooze and be painful, then go to the emergency room, both topical ointments have antibiotics in them. Good-Luck.
