It doesn't hurt
It's benign (there's a pretty clear difference between what a wart and what something suspect looks like)

What that said, apple cider vinegar does a great job against plantar warts. Not sure about other types.
 
DIY surgery is kind of hard especially in places you can't see or easily reach to work on. I'd get it done by a doc. Cost's nothing but your time and maybe parking.
 
I've got this flat little dark patch on my cheek that is related to skin tags, but is just a crusty dark spot. I've had it frozen twice, but it keeps coming back slowly. I expect I will have it frozen every 3~4 years or so forever 🙂

I guess if you don't have access to medical care, you can cut stuff off your own body and do whatever you want. I'd rather pay the $20 co-pay and have it done painlessly by my doctor who can send it off to a lab for free. 😕

It was practically painless. Only momentary. Like getting a shot.

This does not dismiss people living with skin tags for decades.

Remember that scene in Robocop, where one of the gang members / bad guys crashes a car into a silo of what appears to be some sort of nuclear waste, and gets his whole face melted, etc?

Maybe that will be the next body-fashion style, kind of like ripped jeans. You never know. 😛

(*I have a few skin tags. I don't bother them, and they don't bother me. I am single, though, and not employed in any way in which they would be seen.)

Bottom line is, really, I'm not THAT concerned that they're cancerous, although at some point, I should probably have a derma take a look at them, but rather, that I am happy and confident in who I am, body-wise.

We get it, OP, you find a peculiar distaste in people's warts and skin tags.

How is that different, than having a distaste, in say, skin discoloration, and tell people to "bleach their skin". I mean, really, not much difference in what you're saying.

Doctors told me what I already knew (because they hadn't grown or changed significantly for many many years). They were just skin tags. At that point, why would I pay hundreds of dollars for removal? I just cut them off myself. DONE.

See, you sought proper medical advice before proceeding to mutilate yourself, which is perfectly fine from my perspective.
