There is no way to prevent skin tags.
Treatment
Doctors remove skin tags with sharp scissors, a sharp blade or, less commonly, by freezing or burning them off at the stalk. Bleeding can be stopped with a chemical (aluminum chloride) or electric (cauterizing) treatment.
Because skin tags are only a cosmetic concern, not a medical problem, most health insurance plans will not pay for their removal.
