Who has tied thread around their skin tag?!

Who has tied thread around their skin tag?

I went to the doctor and they said it wasn't cancerous. I said I was too afraid to get it removed and he just said "tie a piece of thread around it, and wait for it to fall off". I then did research on it and decided to give it a go...

I tied it around this time last night, and now it is a dark blue, almost black color. Is this okay? I think its supposed to be this color, but I still am not sure. After it falls off, what should I use to clean the area?

Thanks!

alcohol the colour is black since it is now dead and starting to think about rotting abit like a baby and their belly button after birth. Follow the same guide lines and you should be fine
