At home, you can try removing the tags. Tying off the small tag stalk with a piece of thread and allowing the tag to fall off over several days.

Your General physician can remove the tags. There are medical options are available: Removing tag with scissors, with or without anesthetic is the best. The growth is immediately removed and there are instant results. Tags can also removed by Freezing tag with liquid nitrogen, Burning the tag using electric cautery or Hyfrecator. In these cases, sometimes the procedure needs to repeated
