Armpit skin tags

Q&AArmpit skin tags
Anonymous asked 3 years ago

I have little skin tags on my armpits and it makes it impossible to use a razor because it constantly gets caught on the blades and hurts extremely bad so I have to use a guys beard trimmer with a really small head to trim my pit hair and avoid the skin tags and since I have to avoid spots it leaves behind noticeable untrimmed hair and since I am a female that is highly unacceptable and causes me to worry about my armpits being visible while I'm out in public. Is there any ideas as to how I can remove the hair without worrying about getting caught on the tags and causing pain?

These skin tags are called acrochordons, and are very common in the underarm region. They are basically harmless benign tumors. They are not carcinogens or cancer. I have seen them many times in the underarms, especially with older individuals. 
Here is a list of (home remedy) ways to remove them: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321641
