Watch Dr. Pimple Popper Get Busy 'Poppin' Tags' in New Video
Dr. Pimple Popper is removing tags, and it's safe to say that her clients are enforcing a strict no-return policy. In a new Instagram video posted on Tuesday night, Dr. Pimple Popper—aka, celebrity dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee, MD—quickly snips a cluster of skin tags from a patient's body. Or as she puts it in the post's caption, "I’m gonna 💥pop💥some tags...#skintags that is."
What are skin tags?
It's unclear what part of the patient's body is getting the attention in the clip—your guess is as good as ours. Skin tags can also appear anywhere on the body, but they most often sprout up on parts of the body where skin meets skin, or where skin tends to rub against pieces of clothing, according to MedicalNewsToday. The good news is that they tend to benign and harmless, and usually don't pop up until middle age. Sometimes, they'll even just rub away or fall off on their own.

How do you treat skin tags?
Welp, you're looking at it. If the skin tags don't just resolve themselves, then it might be time to see a dermatologist. Aside from the method that Dr. Lee uses in the clip—which basically involves just snipping them off—you can also use cauterization, cryosurgery, ligation, or excision to get rid of them. Some over the counter solutions can also be purchased online that will freeze the skin tag and help it fall away on its own, but it's recommended that you consult a physician before turning to those types of treatments.
