Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello, skin tags are benign outgrowths of the skin, related to recent weight loss or weight gain ..Yes, they are asymptomatic and only concern is cosmetic..But they can be removed in a single sitting under local anesthesia by electrocautery.. I am afraid to tell that there is no means that u can remove by urself at home, moreover the chemicals in armpit may do more harm than good.
So, visit a dermatologist and get them removed.
All the best.
