    Is It Safe To Remove A Mole Or Skin Tag By Freezing It Off With Compound W Freeze-Off?

    I have many skin tags and moles but I cant get an appointment to get them removed until the start of next year. Please tell me what to do. Maybe a home remedy. Or is Freeze-Off Safe to use???

    I am not sure about using compound W. I have had some skin tags removed by my physician and it was horrible. My daughter in law is a registered nurse working for a dermatologist, and they actually use alcohol to sanitize the site and then cut the tags off with tiny cuticle scissors. They use the alcohol again on the site and then apply Neosporin ointment. This was the easiest way, and did not hurt. As for the moles you should always consult with a physician. These could be a start to cancer or something. Hopes this helps.

    I know physicians often use liquid nitrogen to freeze off moles so it seems reasonable to assume that Compound W Freeze-Off can do the same thing. It may need several treatments since Compound W Freeze-Off (-60 C) may not get as cold as liquid nitrogen (-195 C) but either way, the treatment is nothing more than localized "frost bite" to kill the skin tissue.
