Safety Warning Do not touch the applicator to your fingers or touch other areas of your skin as this may cause skin damage including burning or scarring. Freezing the skin tag: lightly press the applicator tip on only one side of the stalk where it attaches to the skin. Use a mirror if necessary to help see the skin tag. Hold for 40 seconds in one place. Caution: do not move the tip around as the applicator needs to remain in one place to be effective. You will likely feel a mild aching or stinging sensation. Directions The TagTarget skin shield is a self-sticking round pad with a hole in the center like a "bulls eye". It fits over the skin tag and protects the healthy skin around the skin tag. It helps you target the skin tag you want to treat. Always apply the right size TagTarget skin shield before treating with Compound W Skin Tag Remover. If it helps you to see the skin tag, such as one located on your neck, use a mirror to help you to place the TagTarget skin shield.
