Skin Tag On Upper Lip. Surgically Removed Previously, Recurring Condition, Occurs Due To Dry Lips. Permanent Cure?
I have a skin tag on my upper lip that has came back. The first time i had it, i had it removed and then i thought it was coming back this fall. Well this winter i noticed that it had formed again and when it started was when my lips were staying dry. Is there anything that works & i can do at home to get it removed as it has gotten big.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare magic
You could be having a viral wart and not skin tag. Both might look almost similar, but wart being an infection has a chance of recurrence if not completely removed.
I would recommend you to do an elecrosurgery and remove the wart completely.
Topical applications over that area of face can cause severe irritation/burns of the skin so better avoided.
Hope this helped
Take care
