Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for removal of bothersome acrochordons or skin tags from the skin. The device has an adhesive surface which allows manipulation and locking of the skin tag in such a way that acrochordon ectomic strangulation can occur without anesthetic or risk for bleeding or infections. The device includes three parts with one or several surfaces, the edges of which can be pivoted, folded, rotated or bent in relation to each other, whereby a more or less elastic strangulation of the skin tag causes an occlusion of the blood flow. The skin tag is simultaneously sealed to the skin surface and concealed by the device which makes the painless ectomic process cosmetically acceptable.

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS  
       [0001]     This application is a continuation of International application PCT/IB2005/0054334 filed Dec. 20, 2005, the entire content of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference thereto. 
     
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0002]     Acrochordons or skin tags are common, easily diagnosed, skin colored or hyper pigmented, benign multiple skin tumors. They are often small and stalked and appear mostly on the neck, axillae, groin and upper torso of middle aged and elderly people. Acrochordons are very benign, asymptomatic forms of tumors which can be irritating following abrasion by clothes or which because of where it is situated can be cosmetically compromising.  
         [0003]     In such cases skin tags can be removed professionally using local anesthetic and subsequent freezing with liquid nitrogen, burning by means of electro-desiccation or excision using a scalpel or scissors.  
         [0004]     These methods give rise to a sore with risk for infections, scars and pain and in addition, necessitate some kind of bandage.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0005]     The invention enables self-treatment of benign, easily diagnosed skin tumors which appear as small filamentary or pedunculated growths on the skin surface, and which are termed acrochordons or skin tags.  
         [0006]     To that aspect the invention relates to a method for occlusive removal of a protruding skin tag from a skin area. The method comprises the steps of encircling or enfolding the area of the protruding skin tag&#39;s nearest the skin, applying an occlusion pressure to the enclosed or enfolded skin tag, whereby sustained blood supply is occluded and necrosis of the skin tag is initiated, immobilising the skin tag relative to the skin area for a period sufficient to allow release of the skin tag from the skin area, and removing the skin tag.  
         [0007]     The invention discloses a plurality of devices that can be used in the method according to the present invention. One device according to the invention comprises an adhesive member which fixes the device to the skin and which has an aperture, an edge or a surface or other support portion which encloses or contact the skin tag&#39;s base on the skin surface. The device also has a clamp which is connected to the adhesive member in different ways and which, because of its shape, can nip the skin tag&#39;s base on the skin surface and occlude the blood flow. Additionally, the device has a locking member which seals the skin tag to the skin to conceal it.  
         [0008]     An adhesive band-shaped device consisting of different types of adhesive materials has protective films which can be removed and expose the different parts of the device. By using different types of adhesive materials, it is possible to seal the skin tag to the surface of an adhesive band-shaped device with protective films which can be removed and expose, and which are then turned at an angle of 90 degrees. The sealed skin tag can also be rotated before it is fastened to the skin surface. The rotation or twisting of the skin tag or a combination of both these procedures results in an occlusion of the skin tag&#39;s blood flow.  
         [0000]     In another embodiment of the invention a small, adhesive, short, thread-like device is wrapped around the base of the skin tag between two adhesive units with a low tension to stop the blood flow.  
         [0009]     In this case, the adhesive thread is fixated to the skin tag&#39;s surface and the different ends lock to each other, which increases the occlusion effect and prevents the thread from slipping when the applied tension disappears. Lacking blood flow, the living tissue in the skin tag quickly recedes and falls off spontaneously in the occlusion area. Such an occlusion of living tissue is well-known within surgery and is used within all medical specialties.  
         [0010]     According to the invention, the skin tag is securely fixed by the support portion and the pressure member of the device which in turn through the adhesion and locking members sit tightly glued to the skin surface, which means that when the device is removed from the skin after a while, the tied-off skin tag is automatically removed too.  
         [0011]     The advantages of the invention are that individuals themselves can, in a simple and inexpensive manner, remove skin tags from their skin without pain or blood effusion and without risk for infection as no wound is formed. Additionally, the removal of the skin tag occurs without scarring which means that the individual does not feel cosmetically compromised during the few days of treatment.  
         [0012]     When the skin tag is removed, it seldom reappears in the same place again, although it is not unusual for a new skin tag to appear in close proximity or in the same area as a previously removed skin tag.  
         [0013]     The device according to the invention comprises small thin strips, bands or discs s of material with one or several adhesive surfaces consisting of more or less flexible or elastic hydrocolloids, hydrogels, foams, nonwoven or polymer fabrics. The adhesive surfaces on the strips, bands or discs etc. have protective films or covering strips which partly inactivate the bonding agent and partly divide the adhesive surfaces into smaller adhesive surfaces. These surfaces constitute the adhesion member, pressure member and locking member of the device and can be activated at different times depending upon the order in which the protective films or covering strips are removed when the device is applied to the skin tag. Some of the pressure members of the device have surfaces that are straight, curved or circular, which in different ways can be maneuvered around the base of the skin tag so that single, double, multi-sided or circular casing occurs, resulting in the occlusion of the proximal blood flow.  
         [0014]     In another embodiment of the invention, the device comprises two small adhesive, more or less elastic sheets which are kept together by a short thin thread or bridge-like construction. One of the sheets or the adhesion member is glued to the skin first, after which the skin tag is grasped between the thumb and forefinger and stretched lightly straight upwards. The thread or pressure member may then be bound between the sheets round the base of the skin tag so that an occlusive ligation of the skin tag occurs. This does not require much strength because the cross-section area of the skin tag is small and all parts of the bridge-like construction are continually sealed to the skin tag&#39;s surface and previously applied bridges. Finally the other sheet or locking member is fixed to the skin, or according to the preferred embodiment, on top of the skin tag so that it is concealed during the release period.  
         [0015]     In a further embodiment, the band-shaped device has slits which extend halfway across the band from both ends, which makes it possible to rotate and bend the band in different ways round the skin tag sealed within the device. To facilitate manipulation of a skin tag, some of the protective films or covering strips are on the adhesive side of the slits, rendering the band more rigid and facilitating rotation and/or folding of the skin tag.  
         [0016]     In a third embodiment, there is a short, thin band consisting of the materials described above, where one side of the band has reinforced adhesive qualities. First of all the bonding agent in the central part of the band is activated and the skin tag is stuck between the thumb and forefinger in the direction of the band&#39;s cross section. The skin tag is then rotated 180-360 degrees, whereby the bonding agent on one of the outer end of the band is stuck to the skin. Then the other outer end of the band is activated and stuck to the skin so that the rotated and thereby occluded skin tag is fixed in a fold where the skin tag lies parallel to the skin surface.  
         [0017]     In a fourth embodiment, the adhesive area is located diagonally on both sides of the band-shaped device. The skin tag is fixed in a fold right over one of the adhesive surfaces, and is then stuck to the skin. The other adhesive surface is then stuck over the first one for increased stability and invisibility.  
         [0018]     In a fifth embodiment, an entire side of the band-shaped device is adhesive. Additionally, there is a small area transversal to the band&#39;s other side, which is also adhesive. In this embodiment, the skin tag is fixed longitudinally in a fold formed in the central adhesive section of the band. The central section including the skin tag can then be bent down and stuck on top of some of the ends after activation of the outer, small, adhesive surface. Thereby, an occlusive fold is created that reduces blood circulation to the skin tag. The occlusive effect can be increased if the entire device with the skin tag sealed in the fold is rotated before the fold is bent down and stuck to an end.  
         [0019]     In a sixth embodiment of the invention, the base of the skin tag is squeezed between specially formed, more or less hard edges with incisions, bead, flaps, or through different types of eccentric clamping mechanisms where the base of the skin tag is squeezed off and occluded simultaneously with the adhesion and locking of the different surfaces to each other such that the skin tag is fixated in a position parallel to the skin&#39;s surface.  
         [0020]     In a seventh embodiment according to the invention, the skin tag is in the middle of the device according to the invention, after which the different parts of the device are turned towards each other such that the existing more or less elastic, adhesive, flexible bands, sheets or rings between the parts are wrapped, drawn, crimped or rotated around the skin tag&#39;s base resulting in a satisfactory occlusion.  
         [0021]     In an eighth embodiment of the invention, an occlusion is achieved at the skin tag&#39;s base by a shearing effect, whereby it is wedged tightly in a V-shaped, more or less flexible section.  
         [0022]     A similar effect can be achieved in a ninth embodiment of the invention where the skin tag is slid through an aperture in three different sections lying on each other of the device according to the invention. By displacing the three layers in different directions in relation to each other, the edges of the aperture applies pressure on the base of the skin tag and result in an occlusion of the blood flow.  
         [0023]     In a tenth embodiment of the invention the skin tag is placed in an elongated aperture in an elastic, adhesive band which is then rolled in a circle around the skin tag, whereby the long sides of the aperture are twisted around the base of the skin tag, resulting in an occlusion.  
         [0024]     In an eleventh embodiment of the invention the skin tag is squeezed at the base in a transversally cut slit in the convex wall of a bent, more or less elastic and flexible tube, after which the skin tag is stuck in the pipe and affixed.  
         [0025]     In a twelfth embodiment of the invention, the base of the skin tag is squeezed between two twists of a more or less elastic and flexible, spiral-shaped device with a thin, adhesive, band-shaped section which is then bent down and stuck to the skin surface which simultaneously fixes the skin tag.  
         [0026]     In a thirteenth embodiment of the invention, there are sheets or wings at the top or bottom of the small vessels which are stuck to the skin above the skin tag. By moving the top and bottom ends in relation to each other, the wings are clamped to the base of the skin tag. When an adequate influence on the blood flow is obtained, the wings are locked in an occlusive manner.  
         [0027]     In a fourteenth embodiment of the invention, O-rings or other more or less elastic or flexible rings, threads or straps are used which by pressing the skin tag&#39;s base against an appropriately formed counter aperture stick to the skin and can give rise to an occluded compression of the blood flow.  
         [0028]     In a fifteenth embodiment of the invention, a device with threads is used with one or several knots or loops which in different ways can be tied or wrapped around the lower part of the skin tag which, when occluded, can be concealed and stabilized in some form of a more or less adhesive covering section.  
         [0029]     In a sixteenth embodiment of the invention, the occlusion of the skin tag can be achieved by an adhesive and very elastic film with an extremely small aperture which is pulled over the skin tag and which, when retracted, occludes the blood flow to the base.  
         [0030]     In a seventeenth embodiment of the invention, an occlusion can be achieved by attaching sticky devices to the skin where a spiral contracts so that the skin tag is fixated simultaneously to the compression of this base or where a clasp or a pair of connected triangles pinch the skin tag&#39;s base on both sides.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS  
       [0277]     Skin tags or acrochordons are a commonly occurring problem in middle aged or old people of both sexes. Apart from professional treatment, folk medicine ties off the skin tag with sewing thread or rubber bands which remain on the skin tag for up to a week or until the skin tag falls off spontaneously.  
         [0278]     The present invention provides a method for removing irritating skin tags using an adhesive, more or less flexible or elastic units. The different units form part of a little device which can be stuck or fastened to the skin with an adhesion member which surrounds or lies next to the base of the skin tag and which contains a pressure member which can provide some kind of pressure or stable mechanical influence between one to two or exceptionally up to four weeks on the fixation of the skin tag to the skin surface. The adhesion of the device to the skin surface can be more or less powerful, but a proper adhesion is necessary in areas where the skin moves a great deal, for example, the throat and axillae which also secrete more or less sweat in adults.  
         [0279]     In the below-mentioned 41 examples, it is described how the central section of the device or adhesion member is placed on the skin and how the section or pressure member connected to the central part provides a gentle occlusion of the base of the skin tag by more than 14 different main mechanisms, at the same time as the locking member of the applied device protects the occluded skin tag from serious damage and from observation from the outside and stabilises and fixes the skin surface in a position which positively influences the final spontaneous detachment and removal from the skin.  
         [0280]     In the overview  FIGS. 1 and 3  in Example 1, the device consists of two thin, single-sided adhesive sections,  1  and  2 , or  1   a  and  2   a  respectively, where in the middle of the sections, there are thin thread-like sections  3  or  3   a , with slits  51  and  52 , or  51   a  and  52   a  respectively punched out or cut. When the protective films  41  and  42  or  41   a  and  42   a  in  FIGS. 2 and 4  are removed from the adhesives surfaces, sections  1  or  1   a  are stuck to the skin  20  or  20   a  in  FIG. 5 , where the skin tag is then held between the thumb and the forefinger and stretched while section  2  and  2   a  is rotated by the other hand or is slid on the protective films,  42  or  42   a , on the skin with the thumb of other hand such that the thin, thread-shaped, stretched, adhesive on one side sections  3  or  3   a  are wound around the base of the skin tag,  21  or  21   a , according to the activity arrow  30  in  FIG. 5 . Because section  3  or  3   a  has an adhesive surface, each new turn will continually stick and lock the section either against the base of the skin tag or to one of the previous turns. The protective films  42  and  42   a  in  FIG. 5  are then removed using removal flaps  421  or  421   a  so that the adhesive surfaces in sections  2  and  3  are activated. When continually stretched, the skin tag,  21  or  21   a , is pushed against the skin surface with  20  or  20   a , and the adhesive surfaces of section  2  or  2   a , and is sealed in a horizontal position between section  2  or  2   a  and the skin surface  20  or  20   a.    
         [0281]     A preferred technique is when an unit,  2  or  2   a , seals the skin tag,  21  or  21   a , on top of section  1  or  1   a . In addition to effectively concealing the skin tag,  21  or  21   a , the total visible bandaged surface is reduced. Additionally, the skin tag,  21  or  21   a , is easier to remove when it has withered. Because section  1  or the smaller section  1   a  will be stuck to the skin  20  or  20   a  and the unit  2  or the larger unit  2   a  of the device is stuck on top of the section  1  or  1   a  in  FIG. 1  or  3 , the device has been provided with corner radii  6  or  6   a  or  6  or  7   a  to prevent the corner from detaching from the skin or from the non-adhesive surface following a normal application, where the outermost surface of the device is chafed against clothes or rubbed against objects in one&#39;s surroundings.  
         [0282]     A skin tag is usually less than 10 mm and has a diameter at the base on the skin which is less than 2 mm, which means that very little compression pressure is required to occlude the venous or the arterial blood flow in the capillary blood circulation located in the periphery. The capillary blood pressure in the outer dermal papillary is around 60 mm Hg. As a comparison it can be mentioned that with treatment of leg sores by compression in the lower leg, it is possible to calculate the compression effect using Laplace&#39;s general formula. This formula can be used to calculate the compression effect of the tag base  11  as a function of the stretch power of the unit  3  the device during rotation  30  ( FIG. 5 ). Laplace&#39;s formula:  
                 Compression   ⁢           ⁢   pressure   ⁢           ⁢     (     mm   ⁢   Hg     )       =     ⁢                       ⁢                   Stretch   ⁢           ⁢   power   ⁢           ⁢     (   Kp   )     ×               Number   ⁢           ⁢   of   ⁢           ⁢   layers   ×                     K   ⁡     (   4630   )                     Skin   ⁢           ⁢     tag   &#39;     ⁢   s   ⁢           ⁢   circumference   ⁢           ⁢     (   cm   )     ×               Unit   ⁢           ⁢   3   ⁢           ⁢   width   ⁢           ⁢     (   cm   )                         
 
         [0283]     The results of some examples are shown in the table below  
                                                                                         Skin tag                   Stretch   Number   Radius/   Width   Compression           Power   of   Circumference   unit 3   pressure       Example   Kp   Layers   cm   cm   mm Hg                                1   0.01   1   0.1/0.63   0.1   735       2   0.01   2   0.1/0.63   0.1   1470       3   0.01   3   0.1/0.63   0.1   2205       4   0.01   1   0.1/0.63   0.2   367       5   0.01   1   0.1/0.63   0.3   245       6   0.01   2   0.1/0.63   0.2   735       7   0.01   2   0.1/0.63   0.3   490       8   0.01   3   0.1/0.63   0.2   1102                  
 
         [0284]     From the table it is possible to establish that as little tangential stretch power as 0.01 Kp (10 g) can produce a full occlusion regardless of the width of unit  3  or the number of times it has been wound around the base of tag  11 .  
         [0285]     To occlude a skin tag with a radius of 1 mm, an occlusion pressure of around 60 mm Hg is required. If unit  3  has a width of 2 mm, the stretch power (F Kp) can be calculated according to Laplace&#39;s equation as: 
 
 F= 60×0.63×0.2/3×4630 F=0.0005Kp(0.5 g) 
 
 However if it is preferred to occlude a skin tag with a radius twice the size, and the other parameters remain unchanged, the following is required according to Laplace&#39;s equation: 
 
 F= 60×1.26×0.2/3×4630 F=0.001Kp(1 g) 
 
         [0286]     Other examples of devices with one or several threads that are wound around the base of the skin tag producing an occlusion according to Laplace&#39;s formula are:  
         [0287]     Example 11 which illustrates a band-shaped device in  FIG. 70  with the four sections,  1   k ,  2   k ,  3   k , and the transversal fold  31   k  and  5   k ; including threads  311   k  and  312   k  extending transversally between sections  1   k  and  3   k , and threads  322   k  and  432   k  extending between sections  2   k  and  3   k .  FIG. 71  is a cross section of  FIG. 70  showing protective films, their removal flaps and positions of the adhesive surfaces of the device. In  FIG. 72 , section  1   k  has been stuck on the skin with skin tag  21   k  between threads  311   k  and  3312   k . In  FIG. 73 , section  3   k  has been bent over fold  33   k  together with the sections  2   k  and  5   k  and stuck together. In  FIG. 74 , the stuck together section  3   k  has been rotated over the skin tag  21   k  such that the adhesive threads  311   k ,  312   k ,  321   k , and  322   k  are wound around the skin tag  21   k  so that the capillaries in the base are occluded.  FIGS. 75 and 76  illustrate how section  33  and skin tag are placed down on the upper side of sections  1  and  2  on the surface of the skin in front of section  5  in  FIG. 77 ; and are then folded and stuck over the occluded skin tag  21   k  which is fixed to the skin and concealed.  
         [0288]     Example 35 illustrates in  FIG. 197 a  device where  2  loops or straps are connected to each other with knots or ties  14   aq  and  17   aq  round a central aperture  11   aq  in a thin, adhesive, band-shaped section  1   aq . Outside the knots or ties  14   aq  and  17   aq , the other part of the loops or straps  12   aq ,  126   aq , and  16   aq ; as well as  13   aq ,  135   aq , and  15   aq  run through guide channels  181   aq  and  182   aq  as well as  191   aq  and  192   aq  and are connected to sections  3   aq  and  5   aq  which are more or less bigger and more flexible than section  1   aq .  FIG. 198  shows the protective films and positions of the adhesive surfaces.  FIG. 199  shows how section  1   aq  is stuck to the skin surface  20   aq  with skin tag  21   aq  in the middle of the aperture  11   aq . In  FIG. 200 , the sections  3   aq  and  5   aq  are stretched according to the activity arrows  31   aq  and  51   aq  such that the loops or rings and knots  14   aq  and  17   aq  in section  1   aq  are contracted. In  FIG. 201 , the contraction in  FIG. 200  is complete and skin tag  21   aq  is occluded. Additionally the stretched threads  12   aq ,  13   aq ,  15   aq  and  16   aq  have been placed on top of section  1   ak  before the protective films  43   aq  and  45   aq  have been removed from sections  3   aq  and  5   aq , which have then been stuck on top of the occluded skin tag  21   aq  on section  1   aq , on the skin surface and on top of each other to lock the loose threads, protect skin tag  21   aq  and by concealing the skin tag, rendering the device cosmetically pleasing.  
         [0289]     Other examples where more or less adhesive threads are used to bind or tie together a skin tag or its base to a surface:

In  FIG. 171  the adhesive surface of the section  5   ac  has been activated by removing the protective film  45   ac  with the removal flap  451   ac  and section  5   ac  has been bent over the fold  51   c  thus covering and protecting the occluded skin tag  21   ac  on the skin surface  20   ac.    
         [0291]     It is also possible to occlude the blood flow at the base of the skin tag using different types of small, fixed devices which are stuck to the skin as in Example 39 where a more or less elastic strap  13   an  has been fastened using fasteners  14   an  to a little more or less hard and massive disc-like section  1   an  with an adhesive underside  3   an  in  FIG. 222 .  FIG. 223  shows how section  1   an  is placed immediately behind skin tag  21   an  on the skin surface  20   an . In  FIG. 224  the strap  13   an  has been drawn around skin tag  21   an , which has been pressed against the surface  11   an  and then hooked on hook  12   an .  FIG. 225  illustrates a thin, flexible section  5   an  with an adhesive side covered by protective film  45   an . In  FIG. 226  the section  5   an  is stuck on top of section  1   an , fixing and concealing the occluded skin tag  21   an  on the skin surface  20   an.    
         [0292]     According to Laplace&#39;s formula an occlusion of the capillaries in the base of a skin tag should occur using a circular applied device. A similar effect can be achieved by rotating the skin tag itself so that the connective tissue inside the base is stretched, producing an occlusion because the rotation itself lengthens the base of the skin tag which stretches the capillaries thereby reducing their lumen.  
         [0293]     Example 5 illustrates a band-shaped device, shown in a longitudinal section in  FIG. 31 , where the underside has three sections  1   e ,  2   e  and  3   e  with a common upper side  5   e  laminated with a more rigid material than the more or less flexible, elastic, adhesive material mentioned previously. These sections can be activated at different points in time by removing the protective films,  41   e ,  42   e  and  43   e  using removal flaps  411   e ,  421   e  and  431   e . In  FIG. 32 , sections  2   e  and  3   e  have been bent over section  1   e  which has been stuck to the skin  20   e  right next to the base of the skin tag  21   e .  FIG. 33  shows how the protective film  43  has been removed and the skin tag  21   e  has been stuck to the surface of the section  3   e . In  FIG. 34 , section  3   e  has been bent over the other side of skin tag  21   e .  FIG. 35  shows how skin tag  21   e  is sealed in one of the folds created in section  3   e . In  FIG. 36  the adhesive surface  4   e  has been activated by removing the protective film  44   e  using the removal flap  441   e , and the fold  3   e  shown in  FIG. 35  is bent down and sticks the adhesive surface  4   e  to the upper side of the section  1   e  stuck to the skin surface  20   e . Thereby, the rigid laminated side  5   e  creates a pointed fold which occludes the base of the skin tag  21   e.    
         [0294]      FIG. 37  is a variant of the application of the device previously described in Example 5. In Example 6  FIG. 37  the protective film  43   e  has been removed in  FIG. 31  and skin tag  21   e  has been sealed in a fold in section  3   e  which is described in  FIGS. 32, 33  and  34  without the protective film  41   e  being removed. Because the section has not been stuck to the skin surface, the sealed skin tag  21   e  could be rotated such that a rotation occlusion  22   e  occurs at the base.  FIG. 38  illustrates how the base of the skin tag  21   e  in the fold  3   e  is rotated and occluded  22   e  as well as how sections  1   e  and  2   e  are stuck to the skin surface  20   e .  FIG. 39  shows how the adhesive surface  44   e  is activated and how the fold  3   e  is pushed down and stuck to the upper side of the section  1   e  and how the laminated fold reinforces the rotation occlusion  22   e.    
         [0295]     In Example 9 a very flexible occlusion of the base of the skin tag is produced by the band-shaped, more or less rigid device in  FIG. 57 , which consists of sections  1   h  and  3   h  where the outside of the more or less rolled outer edges  11   h  and  13   h  and the upper sides are adhesive, while section  2   h  has an adhesive underside and a transversally extending fold  22   h . In  FIG. 58A  the protective film  41   h  has been removed and the rolled edge  11   h  has been placed against the base of the skin tag  21   h .  FIG. 58B  shows how the protective film  42   h  has been removed and how section  2   h  is bent over fold  22   h  such that the rolled edge  31   h  in section  3   h  abuts the skin tag  21   h  and its base. In  FIG. 59 , the protective film  43   h  has been removed and the rolled edge  31   h  has been stuck to the skin tag  21   h ; section  2   h  has been pushed down such that, upon being rolled, the rolled edges  11   h  and  31   h  stretch and occlude the base of the skin tag  21   h . Following continuous pressure on section  22   h  in  FIG. 60 , sections  1   h  and  3   h  are fixed to the skin and section  2   h  seals skin tag  21   h  to section  3   h.    
         [0296]     Example 13 is a variant of the circular occlusion according to Laplace, where an hourglass-shaped device  1   n  in  FIG. 83  has two more or less adhesive sections  12   n  and  13   n  between which an oval aperture  11   n  is placed which creates two threads adhesive on one side, which kept sections  1   h  and  2   h  together. In  FIG. 85 , the aperture  11   h  has been pulled over the skin tag  21   h  on the skin surface  20   n  and the hourglass-shaped sections  12   n  and  13   n  are in the process of being rolled from diametrically opposite directions.  FIG. 86  shows how sections  12   n  and  13   n  are rolled around themselves by fingers  22   n  and  23   n  which causes the base of the skin tag to rotate while at the same time the more or less adhesive threads on both sides of the aperture  11   n  are twisted around the base of the skin tag,  21   n .  FIG. 87  shows how the band-shaped section  2   n  which is adhesive on one side is stuck on top of the base of the skin tag  21   n , occluded by rotation, such that sections  12   n  and  13   n  are locked to the skin surface, simultaneously concealing and fixing the skin tag  21   n.    
         [0297]     Example 30 illustrates additional tests with a circular occlusion where the cross-shaped section  1   af  in  FIG. 172  has four fixed, arms  12   af ,  13   af ,  14   af  and  15   af  adhesive on the underside and two movable adhesive arms,  16   af  and  17   af , which are placed above arms  15   af  and  12   af . The six similar-sized arms are located around a central part, in the middle of which there is a minute aperture  11   af .  FIG. 173  shows how the device  1   af  is placed on the skin  20   af  against the skin tag  21   af .  FIG. 174  shows how the protective film  4   af  is removed using the removal flap  41   af  and how arms  12   af  and  15   af  and half of the central part of the device  1   af  are stuck on the skin surface  20   af  and how by pulling in arms  13   af  and  14   af  the free aperture  11   af  can be stretched and forced over the skin tag  21   af . In  FIG. 175 , arms  13   af  and  14   af  are no longer drawn in; and the usually minute central aperture  11   af  has contracted again occluding the base of the skin tag  21   af . The rest of the central part of the device  1   af  and arms  13   af  and  14   af  have been stuck to the skin  20   af.    
         [0298]     Another more or less hard, massive section is shown in Example 36 where the occlusion of the skin tag occurs in between two radii of different size between the screw and the screw-thread which creates a half-moon shaped occlusion. The device consists of an internally threaded block  1   ak  in  FIG. 203  with an adhesive underside  14   ak  and an aperture  11   ak  located below the screw-thread; as well as a screw  3   ak , described in  FIG. 202 , with its thread head  32   ak  and, relative to the thread, movable tip  31   ak .  FIG. 204  is a cross section of  FIG. 203  and shows the flexible band  15   ak  located at the back edge of the aperture  1   ak .  FIG. 206  shows how the screw  3   ak  is screwed in the section  1   ak . In  FIG. 207 , the section  1   ak  has been stuck to the skin  20   ak  with skin tag  21   ak  sticking into the internal thread  13   ak  near the band  15   ak  in the back wall of aperture  1   ak .  FIG. 208  shows how the screw  3   ak  is screwed into the thread  13   ak  in section  1   ak  until the movable tip  31   ak  presses the base of the skin tag  1   ak  against the flexible band  15   ak  and occludes the blood flow. In order to lock the screw in an occlusive position and at the same time hide the skin tag  21   ak  on the skin surface  20   ak , the band-shaped section  5   ak  in  FIG. 205  with an adhesive underside has been stuck on top of section  1   ak  and the head  32   ak  of the screw  3   ak.    
         [0299]     Example 38 uses another occlusion principle where the clip  1   am  in  FIG. 217  has two resilient sides  14   am  and  15   am  and a narrow leg  13   am  and a broad leg  12   am  with a aperture  17   am  as well as a folded underside with an adhesive surface. In  FIG. 218  the resilient sides  14   am  and  15   am  have been pressed together such that the leg,  13   am , is pushed into the aperture,  17   am , creating a new vertical aperture,  11   am , on the other side. In  FIG. 219  the skin tag  21   am  has been pulled through the in aperture  11   am  created in  FIG. 218  and the clip  1   am  has been stuck to the skin  20   am  before leg  13   am  springs back and occludes the base of the skin tag  21   am .  FIG. 221   am  shows how the flap-like section  3   am  with an adhesive side in  FIG. 220  has been stuck on top of the occluded skin tag in  FIG. 219  and onto the skin surface in order to protect and hide the skin tag, preventing unintentional stresses on the fixation of the clip  1   am.    
         [0300]     Example 14 uses the inherent elasticity of a little tube where a little transversal cut which has been cut through the outer convex part of the tube can be opened, and when closed occludes the base of the skin tag.  FIG. 88  shows a slice of a little tube with two openings  12   p  and  13   p  and a peripheral, transversal cut  11   p  and an adhesive inside and an adhesive surface  15   p  on the outside.  FIG. 89  shows how the tube is bent together so that the cut expands. In  FIG. 90  the expanded aperture  11   p  has been pulled over skin tag  21   p  on the skin surface  20   p . In  FIG. 91  some of the surface  15   p  has been stuck to the skin locking the aperture  11   p  in a contracted position.  FIG. 92   a  illustrates how the tube is pushed together with a finger from above which partly sticks the inside of the tube together and partly sticks the tube to the skin surface with surface  15   p . In  FIG. 92   b , section  1   p  is no longer contracted and the occluded skin tag  21   p  has been fixed inside the tube  1   p  to the skin surface  20   p.    
         [0301]     In Example 24 the occlusive effect of a spiral is used where the base is squeezed between two spiral twists and the rest of the skin tag is protected within the spiral.  FIG. 142  shows a spiral  1   ä , which is covered on both sides with the band-shaped sections  3   s  and  5   s ; and which through a straightened fold,  31   ä  or  51   ä  protrudes out of the spiral  1   ä .  FIG. 144  is a side view of  142 , showing the design of the spiral, the fold and position of the adhesive surfaces on the protruding sections  3   ä  and  5   ä .  FIG. 145  is a side view where the protruding sections  3   ä  and  5   ä  are clamped together so that the spiral  1   ä  is opened on the side that is pulled over the skin tag  21   ä  on the skin surface  20   ä . In  FIG. 146 , the spiral  1   ä  has sprung back; occluding skin tag  21   ä , and section  52   ä  has been bent over fold  51   ä  and stuck to  5   ä . The protective film  451   ä  has been removed with the removal flap  4521   ä  and the spiral has been wound around the base of skin tag  21   ä  and stuck on the skin  20   ä . Section  32   ä  is then stuck to section  3   ä  using the fold  31   ä.    
         [0000]     Finally, section  6   ä  is stuck over the section on the skin concealing and further fixing skin tag  21  to the skin surface  20   ä.    
         [0302]     By occluding the blood flow to the small base of the skin tag, a tying-off effect can be achieved which results in the spontaneous detachment of the skin tag from the skin surface proximal to the occlusion. The occlusion can be produced by ligation or compression of the skin tag or by twisting and/or bending a skin tag and fixing it so that it cannot go back to its natural state.  
       EXAMPLES  
       [0303]     The following examples are provided as further illustrations of the preferred embodiments of the invention.  
       Example 1  
       [0304]     In this example, an adhesive thread is tied around the base of the skin tag occluding the blood flow.  
         [0305]      FIG. 1  is an overview illustrating an embodiment of the invention which consists of a device made of a thin, small strip of textile material, hydrocolloid or polymer or the like, with a single adhesive side. The device is made up of two similar-sized sections  1  and  2  which through two cuts  51  and  52  through both textile material or the like and the adhesive side of the device create a narrow connecting section  3 . This has a side that is adhesive and another side that is not adhesive. The rounded corners  6  and  7  in  FIG. 1  hinder rolling up and detachment from the skin during the time the device in place so that the skin tag can be twisted off. Radii  81  and  82  in  FIG. 1  serve to absorb the pulling force from the application and the occlusive phase so that the narrow connection  3  does not become detached from sections  1  and  2 .  
         [0306]     From  FIG. 2  which is a longitudinal section according to line II-II of  FIG. 1 , it appears that the adhesive surfaces of sections  1  and  2  are each covered by protective films  41  and  42  which inactivate or prevent these surfaces from sticking to the skin of human beings or animals. In order to more easily activate the adhesive properties, an edge of the covering films  41  and  42  has been turned up creating a little flap  411  and  421  through which covering films  41  and  42  can easily be drawn off from the adhesive sections  1  and  2 .  
         [0307]      FIG. 3  is an overview showing a variant of the invention in  FIG. 1  where sections  1   a  with the protective film  41   a  and the removal flap  411   a  are smaller than section  5   a  with the protective film  42   a  and removal flap  421   a  and where the middle sections  1   a  and  5   a  connecting section  3   a  are much longer in Example 1 because the cuts  51   a  and  52   a  are not symmetrical. The size of the radii  6   a ,  7   a ,  81   a  and  82   a  depend upon the size of the sections and the magnitude and direction of the shearing force, pulling and rolling-up power that sections  1   a  and  2   a  are exposed to.  
         [0308]      FIG. 4  is a longitudinal section along the line lV-lV in  FIG. 3  and shows the positions of the sections  1   a  and  2   a  separated by the cuts  51   a  and  52   a  from the narrow section  3   a  as well as protective films  41   a  and  42   a  each with their removal flaps  411   a  and  421   a.    
         [0309]      FIG. 5  shows how the device according to  FIGS. 1-2  and  3 - 4  is applied to achieve a satisfactory occlusion of the skin tag and is shown here for simplicity purely as a detailed description of the application of the device according to  FIGS. 3 and 4 . Upon application, the covering film  41   a  is first removed from the adhesive side of the smaller part  1   a  of the device. The covering film  41   a  is torn off using the flap  411   a  in  FIG. 4  which is shown as a longitudinal section according to IV-IV in  FIG. 3 . It is now possible to separate the small part  1   a  from the connection  3   a  and fix the small part  1   a  to the skin right near the skin tag  21   a . The skin tag  21   a  is then grabbed between the thumb and forefinger of one hand and lightly pulled away from the skin surface so that the base of skin tag is stretched right out. The larger part  2   a  of the device is held in the other hand and lightly pulled so that the connection  3   a  between the little part  1   a  fixed to the skin and the part  2   a  in the hand is stretched. The larger part of the device  2   a  is then wound around the base of the skin tag  21   a  which is still held in the other hand. This facilitates slipping the larger part  2   a  over the covering film  42   a  round the skin tag  31   a  with the stretched connection  3   a  and rotating it three times around the skin tag according to the activity arrow  30   a . The adhesive part of  3   a  then sticks to the base of the skin tag  21   a  after the first rotation and through its stretched elasticity occludes the blood flow in the distal parts of the tag. With continued rotation around the skin tag according to the activity arrow  30   a , the adhesive surface of  3   a  will stick to earlier rotations of  3   a , creating a ring  11   a , where each rotation continually seals earlier and current rotations of  3   a  which means that the adhesive laminated ring  11   a  reinforces the effect of the occlusion with every rotation, despite low and variable stretching in  3   a  during the rotating application according to  30   a.    
         [0310]      FIG. 6  shows that the covering film  42   a  is removed from the adhesive section  2  of the device and how the larger section  2   a  is stuck to the small section  1   a  using a finger  22   a . The occluded skin tag  21   a  is then fixed by the adhesive surface of the larger section on top of the non-sticking surface of the small section  1   a  of the device in a position parallel to the skin surface. The larger section  2   a  of the device will be completely covered by the small section  1   a , concealing skin tag  20   a  and giving the applied device a cosmetically pleasing appearance.  
       Example 2  
       [0311]     In this example the skin tag is rotated and folded onto the skin surface to create a satisfactory occlusion.  
         [0312]      FIG. 7  shows another embodiment of the invention where a band-shaped device consisting of a skin adhesive material, such as latex, elastic fabric, polyurethane film or another polymer material, gels, foams, or hydrocolloids or other solid or semi-solid materials known to a person skilled in the art. The band-shaped device in  FIG. 7  is divided into 3 different areas  1   c ,  2   c  and  3   c . A fold  33   c  is made right in the middle of the area  3   c  in  FIG. 7 , which is perpendicular across the band and easily can be angled into two similar-sized legs.  
         [0313]      FIG. 8  is a longitudinal section along the line llX-llX in  FIG. 7  where the adhesive surfaces of the three areas are covered by protective films  41   c ,  42   c  and  43   c  with respective removal flap  411   c ,  421   c  and  431   c.    
         [0314]      FIG. 9  reveals how the protective film  43   a  with removal flap  431   c  has been removed prior to the application of the device, and the device has been angled in fold  33   c  on the skin  20   c  by the skin tag  21   c.    
         [0315]      FIG. 10 . The angled device in  FIG. 9  has been immediately placed behind the skin tag  21   c , which, if necessary, can be held stretched up between the thumb and forefinger of one hand. Using the other hand, the device is held between the thumb and forefinger on both sides of the fold  33   c  on the non-adhesive outer surface of the legs. The skin tag is pressed down and completely fixed and enclosed between the two adhesive surfaces in area  3   c.    
         [0316]      FIG. 11  shows how the sealed skin tag  21   c  in area  3   c  is rotated 180 degrees according to activity arrow  30   c , which is shown in the Fig. in broken lines. If the skin tag is large, the occlusion can be increased by a full rotation with open legs as per activity arrow  31   c . After this occluding rotation the protective films  41   c  and  42   c  are removed from the adhesive surfaces of areas  1   c  and  2   c , using the removal flaps  411   c  and  421   c , while the legs still are free.  
         [0317]      FIG. 12  shows how the device with the skin tag, which has been rotated one turn, has now been bent down on the skin surface 90 degrees according to activity arrow  30   c , where the adhesive surfaces in areas  1   c  and  2   c  fix the occluded skin tag to the skin surface.  
         [0318]     In  FIG. 13 , which is a longitudinal section along the line Xlll-Xlll in  FIG. 12 , it can be seen that the rotation-occluded skin tag  21  in a fold in area  3   c  is firmly fixed parallel to the skin surface  20   c  by areas  1   c  and  2   c . When the device is removed after a full occlusion, the skin tag sealed to the device is detached from the skin without pain, bleeding or scarring.  
       Example 3  
       [0319]     In a third embodiment of the invention, the adhesive surfaces are located on alternating sides of the thin, band-shaped device consisting of non-woven, hydrocolloid or other such textile, where the skin tag is occluded by twisting it towards the skin surface.  
         [0320]      FIG. 14  shows the two sections  1   d  and  2   d  of the device and the removal flaps  411   d  and  421   d  extending up from the surface of the band.  
         [0321]      FIG. 15  is a cross section along the line XV-XV in  FIG. 14  showing how the adhesive sides of sections  1   d  and  2   d  of the band-shaped device are covered by protective films  41   d  and  42   d  with respective removal flaps  411   d  and  421   d.    
         [0322]     In  FIG. 16 , the device has been bent alongside the two removal flaps  411   d  and  412   d , such that sections  1   d  and  2   d  form two legs which are slightly angled in relation to each other with their long sides towards the skin  20   d . The protective film  41   d  has been removed from the adhesive side of the section  1   d  of the device. Skin tag  21   d  has been stretched between the thumb and the forefinger of one hand, after which the adhesive surface of part  1   d  extends in such a manner that the skin tag  21  can be stuck to the middle of the adhesive surface of part  1   d.    
         [0323]      FIG. 17  illustrates how it is possible, using the thumb and the forefinger of one hand, to press the non-adhesive side of part  1   d  round the skin tag  21   d  such that it is sealed in a fold  3   d , after which the adhesive surface of part  1   d  is reduced. The sealed skin tag  3   d  is rotated vertically 180 to 360 degrees according to the activity arrow  30   d.    
         [0324]      FIG. 18  illustrates how the remaining adhesive side of section  1   d  is stuck to the skin fixing the rotation-occluded skin tag  21   d  parallel to the skin surface in a fold  3   d  in the band-shaped device.  
         [0325]      FIG. 19  shows how the surface of section  2   d  is first activated by removal of the protective film  42   d  with removal flap  421   d  according to  FIG. 17 . The activated surface of section  2   d  has then been folded over the non-adhesive surface of part  1   d  fixing the skin tag  21   d  sealed in fold  3   d  securely to the skin surface  20   d.    
         [0326]      FIG. 20  is a cross section according to line XX-XX in  FIG. 19  showing how the skin tag  21   d  sealed in fold  3   d  is securely fixed to the skin surface  20   d  and then covered by two layers of the device, rendering the skin tag invisible; and securely removed by the device from the skin surface following a sufficiently long occlusion.  
       Example 4  
       [0327]     The band-shaped device has transversal slits allowing the device to fold over, facilitating the occlusion and fixing of the skin tag to the skin surface.  
         [0328]      FIG. 21  shows a fourth embodiment of the invention, where a narrow band of adhesive material, such as for example a hydrocolloid which is a material known to a person skilled in the art, through semi-transversal slits  10   b  has been divided into three sections  1   b ,  2   b  and  3   b , where  3   b  where  3   b  is the central part. To increase adhesion to the skin surface and reduce the risk of detachment, the corners of the band have been rounded by a radius  7   b.    
         [0329]      FIG. 22  is a longitudinal section along XXII-XXII in  FIG. 21 , and shows how the adhesive surfaces of the three sections  1   b ,  2   b  and  3   b  are covered with protective films  41   b ,  42   b  and  43   b , making it possible to separately remove the protective film and activate the respective adhesive surfaces at different points in time using flaps  411   b ,  421   b , and  431   b . The protective films  41   b  and  43   b  extend over the slits  10   b , which increases the rigidity and maneuverability of sections  1   b ,  2   b , and  3   b  upon application of the device.  
         [0330]      FIG. 23  is a perspective view of  FIG. 21  where cuts  101   b ,  102   b ,  103   b  and  104   b  have been cut transversally halfway through the device in four different places.  
         [0331]      FIG. 24  shows a device which is ready for use to remove a skin tag where the protective film  43   b  has been removed and the adhesive surface of the central part  3   b  of the device has been exposed and the device has been angled and placed upright behind skin tag  21   b.    
         [0332]      FIG. 25 . The skin tag is held slightly stretched between the thumb and finger of one hand, while the device is positioned with the other hand, such that the edge of the long side lies against the skin surface; the adhesive surface is then pushed against the vertically positioned skin tag  21   b  so that it sticks to the middle of the adhesive surface of  3   b . The skin tag  21   b  is then pinched on both sides from behind such that the it is completely surrounded by one of the sealed folds created by the adhesive surfaces in section  3   b . In the upright position, the sealed skin tag  21   b  is rotated 180 to 360 degrees according to the activity arrow  30   b.    
         [0333]      FIG. 26  shows how the sealed and rotated skin tag is placed against the skin surface with the adhesive sections  1   b ,  4   b  and  2   b  covered by protective films upwards. Protective films  42   b  and  44   b  are removed, thus activating the adhesive surface of part  2   b  and part  4   b.    
         [0334]      FIG. 27  shows how the device in  FIG. 26  has been turned 180 degrees over the long side, and sections  2   b  and  4   b  have been stuck to the skin according to arrows  24   b , where the sealed top of the skin tag  21   b  is marked with a little radius.  
         [0335]      FIG. 28  is a cross section of  FIG. 27  along the line XXVlll-XXX, where the section  1   b  of the device has been tilted so that it is positioned vertically in slits  103   b  in  FIG. 27 .  
         [0336]     In  FIG. 29 , the protective film  41   b  in  FIG. 28  has been removed, and section  1   b  of the device has been rotated 180 degrees round a line between the central borders of slits  104   b  and  103   b , which stick the base to section  1   b  between slits  104   b  and  103   b . As a consequence, the adhesive side of section  1   b  of the device is turned towards the non-adhesive surface of the section  2   b  of the device.  
         [0337]     In  FIG. 30 , section  1   b  of the device has been stuck on top of section  2   b , which is then covered by section  1   b , whereby the applied device fixes the skin tag  21   b  to the skin surface  20   b  in a rotated and occlusive position. The skin tag is no longer visible from the outside, and the applied device simply appears as a bandage to an observer. The device shown in  FIG. 30  can be easily removed by pulling it from the skin 3-7 days later after the occlusion; the skin tag  21   b  sealed in the device comes away with the device. Because the occlusion entails the degeneration of nerves and other tissue in the surrounding area, the skin tag can be removed without pain or bleeding. It has also been shown that the removal of a skin tag via occlusion does not lead to scarring.  
       Example 5  
       [0338]     In a fifth embodiment of the device, an occlusion can be achieved via a device induced sharp fold which prevents the blood flow to the skin tag.  
         [0339]      FIG. 31  shows a longitudinal section of the band-shaped, laminated device according to the invention, where a thin, more or less more rigid, yet flexible unit is combined with a more or less elastic, adhesive layer. The adhesive underside of the device is divided by three sections  1   e ,  2   e  and  3   e  with protective films  41   e ,  42   e  and  43   e  which have removal flaps  411   e ,  421   e  and  431   e . A narrow, transversally extending, adhesive surface  4  is on the upper side of the device, which is covered by a protective film  44   e  with a removal flap  441   e.    
         [0340]      FIG. 32  shows how the protective film  41   e  is removed from the adhesive surface of section  1   e  of the device using the removal flap  411   e , after which section  1   e  is stuck to the skin  20   e  as near the skin tag  21   e  as possible. The protective film  43   e  is then removed by means of the removal flap  431   e  so that the adhesive surface  3   e  of the device is exposed.  
         [0341]      FIG. 33  shows how, using a finger, skin tag  21   e  can be bent and stuck to the adhesive surface of section  3   e . Section  2   e  of the device is then bent backwards so that skin tag  21   e  is caught in a fold in the adhesive surface of part  3   e , shown in  FIG. 34 . The skin tag  21   e  is sealed in the fold by exerting a heavy pressure from two directions with the thumb and forefinger as shown in  FIG. 35 .  
         [0342]      FIG. 35  shows how, after removal of the protective film  42   e  using the removal flap  421   e  (see  FIG. 34 ), the adhesive section  2   e  of the device is exposed and stuck to the skin  20   e . The skin tag  21   e  is now enclosed in a vertical fold which is extending transversally over the band-shaped device which is fixed to the skin  20 .  
         [0343]     In  FIG. 36 , the adhesive surface  4   e  has been activated by removal of protective film  44   e  using removal flap  441   e , and the transversal flap  3   e  with the adhesive surface  4   e  is folded down and sticks to the non-adhesive surface of section  1   e . As a result, a sharp fold  23   e  has, through the laminate, been created along the base of the stuck together flap  3   e , which nips the lowest part of the skin tag and occludes the blood flow. After an acceptable period of time, the applied device can easily be removed from the skin; the occluded and sealed skin tag in fold  3   e  comes off too without pain or other discomfort.  
       Example 6  
       [0344]     This Example is a variant of Example 5 where rotation and folds can be combined to enhance the occlusion.  
         [0345]     The sealed skin tag can be rotated in fold  3   e  in the direction shown by arrow  30   e  in  FIG. 37 , if it is nipped with the fingers while protective films  41   e  and  42   e  are in place and protective film  43   e  is removed from the adhesive surface of section  3   e  of the device in  FIG. 31 .  
         [0346]     In  FIG. 38 , the flaps  421  and  411  have been used to remove the protective films  42   e  and  43   e  such that the sections  1   e  and  2   e  and skin tag  21   e  with the rotated base  22   e  can be stuck to the skin  20   e.    
         [0347]      FIG. 39 . If the device consists of an adhesive surface  4   e  on the backside of section  3   e , as shown in  FIG. 37 , the rotated skin tag can be folded down over the non-adhesive surface of section  1   e , enhancing the occlusion. Regardless of whether sealed skin tag  21   e , as shown in  FIG. 36 , is only rotated, or rotated and folded as shown in  FIG. 39 , the thin blood vessels in the base of the skin tag will be occluded, which means that it can degenerate within a few days. The occluded skin tag can then be easily removed from the skin surface together with the device without difficulty.  
       Example 7  
       [0348]     Another embodiment of the invention consists of a band-shaped device of a more or less rigid material where one side has adhesive properties. The device is divided into sections  1   f ,  2   f ,  3   f ,  5   f  and  6   f  which are defined by a pre-made fold such that the different sections can be bent and moved in relation to each other.  
         [0349]     In  FIG. 40 , section  1   f  of the device has a protective film  41   f  protruding from the underside of the section instead of a removal flap. The border to section  2   f  consists of two imprinted folds  11   f  and  12   f  on either side of a punched-out flap  211   f  which extends into section  2   f . Sections  2   f ,  3   f  and  5   f  have a common protective film  43   f  which also projects from the underside of the section. Between sections  2   f  and  3   f  there is an imprinted, curved fold  31   f , likewise between sections  3   f  and  5   f . The curved fold between section  6   f  and  5   f  is divided into two halves  61   f  and  62   f  by the flap  511   f  extending into section  6   f  in  5   f . Under  61   f  there is a projecting protective film  46   f  on top of the adhesive surface.  
         [0350]     Upon application of the device, sections  2   f ,  3   f ,  5   f  and  6   f  are folded over the imprinted folds  11   f  and  12   f  which are shown  41 . The protective film  41   f  is then removed to activate the adhesive surface of section  1   f , after which one should first put the punched-out flap  211   f  as near the base of the skin tag  21   f  as possible before section  1   f  is stuck to the skin surface. During this manoeuvre, the protective film  43   f  stabilises handling of sections  2   f ,  5   f  and  5   f  and prevents unnecessary bending of the imprinted curved folds  31   f.    
         [0351]     In  FIG. 42 , the protective film  43   f  has been removed and the flap  511   f  projecting from section  6   f  is pushed at an angle upwards directly towards the base of the skin tag  21   f . The curved fold  31   f  can then be activated so that the sections  2   f ,  3   f  and  5   f  can be folded in relation to each other, as shown in  FIG. 42 .  
         [0352]     Finally the protective film  46   f  is removed and section  6   f  is stuck to the skin surface with flap  511  as near the skin tag  21   f  as possible as shown in  FIG. 43 . By carefully tipping one of the curved folds  31   f  to one side, it is possible to stick the top of the skin tag  21   f  to underside of section  3   f  and bend it to one side. If the sections of  3   f , lying above sections  5   f  and  2   f  just in front of fold  31   f , are pressed downwards, flaps  211   f  and  511   f  will slide towards each other and occlude the base of the skin tag.  
         [0353]      FIG. 44  is a longitudinal section of  FIG. 43  in perspective, where section  3   f  has been pressed so far down that  2   f  and  5   f  have been stuck to adhesive underside of  3   f , completely sealing skin tag  21   f  in the double fold, which in turn is stuck to the skin by sections  1   f  and  6   f . Given that the skin tag is sealed between two adhesive surfaces and that the base is occluded, it will come away with the device without difficulty when the device is removed from the skin surface after a few days.  
       Example 8  
       [0354]     The section in  FIG. 45  is made up of a thin, more or less rigid and elastic band of polymer or natural material, with five sections each of which having an adhesive surface and which because of an imprinted fold between sections can be moved in relation to each other. The combined length of the sections  1   g  and  2   g  of the device is as long as section  6   g  and the total length of  1   g ,  2   g  and  6   g  is as long as sections  3   g  and  5   g.    
         [0355]      FIG. 45  is an overview of the sections  1   g ,  2   g ,  3   g ,  5   g  and  6   g  of the device, where section  1   g  has a protective film  41   g  on the upper side and a little projection  12   g  on the short side of the section. Section  6   g  has a notch on the short side of the device and a protective film  46   g  on the upper side. On the lower side of section  2   g  there is a protective film  42   g , on section  3   g  there is a protective film  43   g , and on section  5   g , a protective film  45   g.    
         [0356]     As in Example 7, the protective films project from one side of the sections, which facilitates removal when the adhesive surface is to be activated.  
         [0357]      FIG. 46  is a longitudinal section of  FIG. 45  along the lines XLVl-XLVl illustrating how protective film  41   g  has been removed from section  1   g  which is stuck to the skin surface with notch  12   g  located in direct contact with the base of the skin tag  21   g.    
         [0358]      FIG. 47  is a longitudinal section of  FIG. 46 ; where the protective films  42   g ,  43   g  and  45   g  have been removed, activating the adhesive surfaces of sections  2   g ,  3   g ,  5   g . Using the still inactivated section  5   g , the entire device is bent over the skin tag  21   g.    
         [0359]      FIG. 48  is a longitudinal section of  FIG. 47  illustrating how the notch in section  6   g  is now placed against the base of the skin tag  21   g  such that an enclosed, ring-shaped structure is created encircling the skin tag. By manipulating the sections before or after the ring has been created, skin tag  21   g  is stuck to one of the adhesive surfaces  1   g ,  2   g  or  3   g  inside the ring.  
         [0360]      FIG. 49  shows how using pressure on section  3   g , skin tag  21   g  is enclosed and sealed in a fold created by  1   g ,  2   g  and  3   g . Protective film  46   g  is then removed, and section  6  is pressed down against the skin and sticks to it. Given that sections  1   g ,  2   g  and  6   g  altogether are as long as  3   g  and  5   g , the volume of the enclosed skin tag will produce an eccentric effect when section  6  is stuck to the skin, enhancing the occlusion of skin tag  21   g.    
         [0361]      FIG. 50  shows that, while section  6   g  is being stuck to the skin, section  5   g  is stuck to the non-adhesive side of section  6   g , which encloses and seals off the ring-shaped device, while at the same time enclosing and permanently sealing skin tag  21   g  to the device. The permanently enclosing of skin tag  21   g  ensures that the skin tag comes away too when the device is removed from the skin a few days after the occlusion.  
       Example 9  
       [0362]     Another embodiment of the eccentric principle in Examples 7 and 8 is described in  FIGS. 51-60 . A controllable occlusion of the blood flow to the skin tag can be achieved with a simple hard or rigid device.  
         [0363]      FIG. 51  is a perspective view of the device made up of three sections  1   h ,  2   h  and  3   h  with two pre-prepared, elastic, curved folds between the three sections, thereby connecting them to each other via the folds. Sections  1   h  and  3   h  each have a projecting protective film  41   h  and  43   h  on their upwardly directed adhesive surfaces. These two sections combined are as long as  2   h , which has its adhesive surface with a projecting protective film  42   h  on its underside.  
         [0364]     In  FIG. 52 , the protective films  41   h  on sections  1   h  and  42  of section  2   h  have been removed, sections  2   h  and  3   h  have been bent upwards and  1   h  has been stuck to the skin as near the base of the skin tag as possible. The protective film  43   h  is now removed, exposing the adhesive surface of section  3   h . This section is then moved, as shown by the arrows  30   h  and  31 , against the base of the skin tag, and the curved fold between sections  2   h  and  3   h  is then pressed down towards the skin. By doing this, the curved fold between  1   h  and  2   h  will expand to compensate for the compressed volume of the skin tag while the elasticity in the curved fold between  2   h  and  3   h  presses the edge of section  3   h  abutting the base of the skin tag harder against the base, thus enhancing the occlusion.  
         [0365]      FIG. 53  shows how the skin tag is bent down, clamped and sealed by the adhesive surface of section  2   h  against the surfaces of sections  1   h  and  3   h  which are stuck to the skin surface.  
         [0366]      FIG. 54  is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the invention, where the device is made up of three sections  1   h ,  2   h  and  3   h . Section  1   h  has an asymmetrical edge with a small indentation  12   h  with which to grip the base of the skin tag  21   h . On the upper side, there is a protective film  41   h  on the adhesive surface, and on the lower side or in the middle of the section, there is a thin, hard film  11   h , covering most of the surface, leaving a 1-5 mm narrow, elastic edge  13   h  around  1   h . Section  2   h  is symmetrical with a protective film  42   h  on the underside. On the top side of the section  3   h  there is a protective film  34   h  and on the underside a thin, hard film  31   h , which leaves a small, elastic edge  32   h  round  3   h , where the free short side  32   h  of the device also is asymmetrical.  
         [0367]     In  FIG. 55 , the protective film  41   h  has been removed and the indentation  12   h  of section  1   h  has been placed directly against the base of skin tag  21   h . Sections  2   h  and  3   h  have been bent upwards, protective films  42   h  and  43  have been removed and  3   h  has been rotated in the direction of the arrow  30 , until the asymmetrical edge  32   h  touches the base of skin tag  21   h . In this example the volume of  21   h  has been taken up by the more or less rigid section  2   h , while the elastic edge  32   h  has been pressed against the base of skin tag  21   h  which is located in the indentation, with a careful angling because of the asymmetry. This makes it possible to control the compression pressure on the base of  21   h  and as a consequence, control the occlusion of the blood flow.  
         [0368]      FIG. 56  shows how the adhesive surface of  2   h  pushes down and fixes skin tag  21   h  against the hard films  11   h  and  31   h , which are connected to the skin surface on the backside by sections  1   h  and  2   h.    
         [0369]      FIG. 57  reveals a device consisting of three parts  1   h ,  2   h  and  3   h , where the total length of  1   h  and  3   h  is longer than  2   h . This is compensated for by zone  22   h  which is more elastic than the rest of section  2   h . Section  1   h  has adhesive top side with a protective film  41   h  which extends over a semi-circular strip  11   h  which can be stuck or fixed to the upper or under side of the section  1   h  and which has a convex adhesive surface. The strip  11   h  can also be made of  1   h  itself or of section  1   h  with the addition of films, foils, strips, foams, gels, or fibres of polymer or natural materials. Section  2   h  has an adhesive underside covered by protective film  42   h . Right in the middle of  2   h  there is a zone  22   h  which is more elastic than the rest of section  2   h . Like  1   h , section  3   h  has adhesive top side, a semi-spherical strip  31   h  of polymer or natural material, with an adhesive convex surface covered by protective film  43   h.    
         [0370]     In  FIG. 58A , the device is held vertically and the protective film  41  is removed from the section  1   h  and the strip  11   h  is placed with its elastic side against the skin tag  21   h . The perspective  FIG. 58 B  shows how sections  2   h  and  3   h  have been bent so that the device, through the elastic, curved fold  22   h , takes form of an open ring around skin tag  21   h . By doing this, protective film  43   h  is removed, and the strip  31   h  is placed touching the base of skin tag  21   h.    
         [0371]      FIG. 59  shows how, by pressing both parts of section  2   h  downwards against the skin surface  20   h  as shown by the arrows  23   h  and  24   h  in  FIG. 58 B , the two strips  11   h  and  31   h  stick to each other and to the lower end of the skin tag; the elastic influence on zone  22   h  means that the pressure against the base of skin tag  21   h  will not be too great. The semi-spherical strips  11   h  and  31   h  are simultaneously pressed against each other and turned at the same time as being stuck, which lifts and stretches the base of the skin tag, rendering the area of the occlusion larger and making it more effective.  
         [0372]      FIG. 60  shows how the occluded skin tag  21   h  has been stretched, stuck and fixed to the adhesive surface of section  2   h  against surfaces  1   h  and  3   h , which in turn are stuck to skin surface  20   h . Through the application manoeuvre in  FIGS. 58B and 59 , the elastic zone  22   h  is now stretched to its fullest; section  2   h  is stuck to the surfaces of  1   h  and  3   h  thus securing a long lasting occlusion of the base of skin tag  21   h.    
       Example 10  
       [0373]     By rotating each of the discs with their adhesive surfaces in relation to each other, a device for the occlusion of skin tag  21   i  on the skin surface can be formed.  
         [0374]      FIG. 61  is an overview of a disc which has been divided into 3 sections  1   i ,  2   i  and  3   i  each with their protective films  41   i ,  42   i  and  43   i  on the adhesive underside of the disc. At one edge of section  3   i  there is a small radius  31   i  which has been punched out of the disc.  
         [0375]      FIG. 62  describes another more or less larger disc than that shown in  FIG. 61 , where the adhesive top side has been divided by protective films  45   i ,  46   i  and  47   i  in sections  5   i ,  6   i  and  7   i . At one edge of section  6   i , a small radius  61  has been punched out of the disc.  
         [0376]     In  FIG. 63 , the smaller and more or less larger discs have been connected by pulling up slit  31   i  through slit  61   e , after which protective films  43   i  and  46   i  have been removed, and the adhesive surface  3   i  on the underside has been stuck to the surface  6   i  which is adhesive on the upper side to a new non-adhesive section  8   i.    
         [0377]      FIG. 64  is a cross section of  FIG. 63  along the line LXlV-LXlV and shows how two new semi-circular discs have been fused, where disc  1   i + 5   i  is asymmetrical because area  5   i  is greater than  1   i . Likewise, disc  7   i + 2   i  is asymmetrical because area  7   i  is greater than area  2   i . The two discs are connected through surface  8   i.    
         [0378]      FIG. 65  shows how by punching out the area in common, in  8   i ; all materials have been removed other except two narrow sections  83   i  and  84   i . Some material from the long sides of are  8   i  have been retained in a narrow edge  815   i  which connects the two semi-circles  1   i  and  5   i  and edge  827   i  which connects semi-circles  2   i  and  7   i . Centrally in the two edges, a little bit extra material has been punched out in order to create an aperture  81   i  in disc  1   i + 5   i  and another similar-sized aperture  82   i  in disc  2   i + 7   i.    
         [0379]     In  FIG. 66 , protective films  41   i  and  45   i  have been removed and disc  1   i + 5   i  has been opened along the narrow edge  815   i.    
         [0380]     In  FIG. 67 , disc  1   i + 5   i  in  FIG. 67  has been folded completely up so that the aperture  81   i  is opened. Skin tag  21   i  has been pulled through aperture  81   i  in disc  1   i + 5   i , which has then been stuck to the skin surface.  
         [0381]     In  FIG. 68 , Disc  2   i + 7   i  is folded out with the protective films  42   i  and  47   i  facing the disc  1   i + 5   i  located against the skin  20   i , and the skin tag  21   i  has been pulled through the narrow sections  83   i  and  84   i  and through aperture  82   i . Disc  2   i + 7   i  is then rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow  30   i ; as a result, both narrow sections  83   i  and  84   i  wind themselves around skin tag  21   i.    
         [0382]      FIG. 69  shows how sections  83   i  and  84   i  occlude the base of the skin tag and how protective films  42   i  and  47   i  are removed from the disc  2   i + 7   i  which is then stuck to the top side of the more or less smaller disc  1   i + 5   i  and to the skin surface  20   i.    
       Example 11  
       [0383]     In this embodiment of the invention, the thin, band-shaped device is first folded so that narrow, adhesive, elastic sections are created which are then rotated around the base of the skin tag.  
         [0384]      FIG. 70  is a perspective view of a band-shaped device which consists of four connected sections  1   k ,  2   k  and  3   k  which all have an adhesive surface on the same side while section  5   k  has an adhesive surface on the top side. Sections  1   k  and  2   k  each have an adhesive protective film  41   k  and  42   k  on the underside which can be removed using the removal flaps  411   k  and  421   k . The section  5   k  of the device is larger than sections  1   k  and  2   k  combined and has a protective film  45   k  on the top side with removal flap  451   k . Between sections  2   k  and  5   k , there is an imprinted, curved fold  51   k  which enables sections  2   k  and  5   k  to move in a controlled fashion in relation to each other. Section  3   k  does not consist of a homogenous single surface, on the contrary it has been divided into a central part  31   k  and  32   k , between which is an imprinted, curved fold  33   k  extending transversally over the band-shaped device. Between sections  1   k  and  31   k  there are two diagonally asymmetrically extending narrow bands  311   k  and  312   k , extending from the outer edges of section  31   k  to the central part of section  1   k , made of the same material as the device, or of another polymer or natural material. Between sections  3   k  and  2   k  are similar asymmetrical narrow bands extending diagonally from the edges of section  32   k  to the central part of section  2   k , made of the same material as the device, or of another polymer or natural material. To stabilise and keep the structure together, protective films  431   k  and  432   k  with removal flaps  4311   k  and  4321   k  are located on the underside of section  3   k.    
         [0385]      FIG. 71  is a cross section of  FIG. 70  along the line LXXl-LXXl and shows the two opposing removal flaps  4311   k  and  4312   k  which stabilise the imprinted, curved fold  33   k  between the adhesive surfaces of sections  31   k  and  32   k . The adhesive surface with protective film  45   k  of section  5   k  lies on the top side of the band-shaped device while the other adhesive surfaces on the other sections are located on the underside of the device and are covered by protective films  41   k ,  431   k ,  432   k  and  42   k.    
         [0386]     In  FIG. 72 , sections  5   k ,  2   k ,  321   k ,  322   k ,  32   k ,  31   k  and sections  311   k  and  312   k  have been rotated 180 degrees over section  1   k . The protective film  41   k  has then been removed using removal flap  411   k  and section  1   k  has been stuck on the skin  20   k  as near skin tag  21   k  as possible.  
         [0387]      FIG. 73  shows how covering films  431   k  and  432   k  have first been removed using the removal flaps  4311   k  and  4321   k , after which sections  5   k ,  2   k ,  321   k ,  322   k  and  32   k  have been bent together over the curved fold  33   k  such that sections  32   k  and  33   k  are stuck to a new section  3   k  and section  2   k  ends up on the other side of skin tag  21   k . Because the four sections  312   k  and  322   k , and  311   k  and  321   k  were asymmetrically placed between sections  31   k  and  1   k  each between  32   k  and  2   k  in  FIG. 70 , both pairs  312   k  and  332   k , and  311   k  and  321   k  of the four narrow sections extend in parallel, which means that  2   k  with sections  321   k  and  322   k  can be moved in relation to section  1   k  on the skin, the parallel sections  311   k  and  312   k  and the new section  3   k.    
         [0388]     In  FIG. 74 , protective film  2   k  has been removed using the removal flap  421   k , after which section  2   k  has been stuck to the skin on the other side as near skin tag  21   k  as possible and edge to edge with section  1   k . Following this, it is rotated by the double thick, stabilised section  3  in the direction of the arrow  30   k , winding the four narrow, adhesive sections  322   k ,  312   k ,  321   k  and  311   k  around the base of skin tag  21   k.    
         [0389]     After one to three twists, the narrow sections  322   k ,  312   k ,  321   k  and  311   k  have been wound around and stuck to the base of the skin tag occluding both the venous and arterial capillaries in skin tag  21   k ,  FIG. 75 .  
         [0390]     In  FIG. 76 , it is possible to bend the occluded skin tag  21   k  and section  3   k  on the top side of the sections  1   k  and  2   k  which are stuck to the skin surface. The adhesive surface of section  5   k  is activated by means a removal flap  451   k  to remove protective film  45   k.    
         [0391]      FIG. 77  shows how it is possible to fold section  5   k  in the direction of the arrow  52   k  in  FIG. 76  over the imprinted, curved fold  51   k , which fixes section  3   k  and the occluded skin tag  21   k  parallel to the skin surface and at the same time hides them from sight, which increase the cosmetic acceptance of the invention.  
       Example 12  
       [0392]     In the embodiment of this invention, the base of the skin tag is compressed against a hard surface of narrow, adhesive sections which are wound several times around one side of the skin tag.  
         [0393]      FIG. 78  is an overview of the band-shaped device which is made up of four thin, more or less connected sections  1   m ,  2   m ,  3   m  and  5   m , consisting of a more or less elastic or flexible material of polymer or natural material, and a massive or ring-shaped section  6   m  of a more or less flexible material of polymer, metal, salt or natural material with a more or less hard and incompressible surface and a height which can vary between 0.1 and 15 millimetres. Section  6   m  is stuck between the two thin, band-shaped sections  1   m  and  2   m , where at least section  1   m  lying on top of the skin has a larger area than section  6   m . Section  2   m  has an adhesive surface underneath which is facing away from section  6   m , while section  1   m  has an upper side which can either be adhesive or non-adhesive. Between sections  1   m ,  2   m  and  5   m , there is an aperture  11   m  extending through both sections  1   m  and  2   m , which extends right to the more or less hard and incompressible surface of section  6   m . Section  5   m  has an adhesive upper side which is covered by protective film  45   m  with removal flap  45   m  and connected to section  2   m  by the imprinted fold  51   m . Sections  3   m  and  31   m  has adhesive upper sides and are independent sections of  5   m  and are covered by the transparent protective film  431   m  with removal flap  431   m . The flap-formed section  3   m  is fixed by the narrow, independent section  31   m  to section  5   m  by the side of the common imprinted fold  51   m  between sections  2   m  and  5   m.    
         [0394]      FIG. 79  is a perspective view showing how protective film  42   m  on section  2   m  has been taken off using removal flap  421   m , after which section  2   m  of the device has been stuck to the skin  20   m  such that skin tag  21   m  is located as near as possible to the more or less hard and incompressible surface of section  6   m.    
         [0395]     In  FIG. 80 , protective film  431   m  has been removed using removal flap  4311   m , flap  3   m  has been gripped with two fingers  22   m  and  23   m  and section  31   m  is stretched out and twisted one turn clockwise around section  6   m  between sections  1   m  and  2   m , as shown by the arrow  30   m , such that skin tag  21   m  is squeezed against the more or less hard and incompressible surface of section  6   m.    
         [0396]      FIG. 81  is a cross section along the line LXXXl-LXXXl in  FIG. 80 , showing how section  3   m  is wound three times around section  6   m  and how the base of the skin tag is then compressed and pushed against the hard and incompressible surface of section  6   m . The occluded skin tag  21   m  is then bent and stuck to the adhesive surface  1   m.    
         [0397]     In  FIG. 82 , protective film  45   m  has been removed using removal flap  451   m  and section  5   m  is bent down on the imprinted fold  51   m  over the skin tag  21   m  in section  1   m . Because the area of sections  1   m  and  2   m  is smaller than section  5   m , the areas of section  5   m  lying outside the range of sections  1   m  and  2   m  will be stuck to the skin, thus fixing, concealing and sealing skin tag  21  on the skin.  
       Example 13  
       [0398]     In this embodiment of the invention the device is made up of two parts, where one part produces an occlusion of the skin tag as a result of the torsional force that arises when the more or less flexible and elastic device is turned or rolled.  
         [0399]      FIG. 83  is an overview of the part of the band-shaped device  1   n , which has a centrally located aperture  11   n  between sections  12   n  and  13   n  on either side of the aperture. On the outer edge of short side, sections  12   n  and  13   n  each have their own projecting, pointed flaps  14   n  and  15   n , facing in opposite directions. The underside of the device  1   n  has an adhesive surface which is covered by protective film  41   n  which is extended on the short side of device such that a removal flap  411   n  arises.  
         [0400]     In  FIG. 84 , a perspective view of the other part of device  2   n  is shown which is also band-shaped of a length which is more or less longer and a width which is narrower than section  1   n  of the device. Section  2   n  of the device has an adhesive underside which is inactivated by protective films  42   n  and  43   n  each with removal flaps  421   n  and  431   n.    
         [0401]     In  FIG. 85 , protective film  41   n  has been removed from section  1   n  of the device using the removal flap  411   n  and the aperture  11   n  has been pulled over skin tag  21   n , after which sections  12   n  and  13   n  of the device have been carefully stuck to the skin  20   n . One finger is drawn along the skin surface towards the point of the flap  14   n  and another finger is drawn in the opposite direction towards the point of the flap  15   n . Because sections  12   n  and  13   n  with flaps  14   n  and  15   n  are stuck to the skin  20   n , continuous movement and exertion of pressure of the fingers on the top side of sections  12   n  and  13   n  will result in flaps  14   n  and  15   n  being rolled up onto each side of these sections  12   n  and  13   n . Because sections  12   n  and  13   n  are hour-glass shaped, with more material on the short sides than at the aperture  11   n ; the rolled up sections  12   n  and  13   n  will move in circle around skin tag  21   n  as indicated by the activity arrow  75   n.    
         [0402]      FIG. 86  is a perspective view showing that continuous rolling  22   n  and  23   n  with two fingers from a diametrically opposing direction, as indicated by activity arrows  71   n  and  72   n , the hour-glass shaped surfaces of sections  12   n  and  13   n  will be rolled up, as indicated by activity arrows  73   n  and  74   n . Sections  31   n  and  32   n  on either side of aperture  11   n  will be turned around each other because of the opposing rotational direction of sections  12   n  and  13   n . After a certain number of turns, sections  31   n  and  32   n  will have turned around and got stuck to each other and to the base of skin tag  21   n . They will then be stuck to each other; their more or less flexible and elastic qualities will occlude the base of the skin tag.  
         [0403]      FIG. 87 , is a cross section showing how the adhesive surface of section  2   n  of the device is activated by removal of protective films  42   n  and  43   n  each with their respective removal flaps  421   n  and  431   n , after which section  2   n  is stuck over the rolled up section  1   n . The skin tag  21   n  which is occluded in the section in of the device is then sealed on the surface of the skin  20   n.    
       Example 14  
       [0404]     This embodiment of the invention is made up of a bent, tube-shaped, adhesive device, which through the more or less flexible and elastic polymer or natural materials of the device, and a slit in the tube can occlude and fix the skin tag to the skin surface.  
         [0405]      FIG. 88  shows a device,  1   p , which is made up of a short and narrow, more or less bent tube with radius  14   p  consisting of more or less flexible and elastic polymer or natural materials, where both the inner and outer surface  15   p  of the device  1   p  are adhesive. The tube-shaped device  1   p  has two open ends  12   p  and  13   p  as well as a slit,  11   p , cut transversally in the wall in the pipe in the middle of the convex part of the device  1   p  with the radius  14   p.    
         [0406]     To apply the tube-shaped device  1   p , in  FIG. 89 , the open surfaces  12   p  and  13   p  are held between the thumb  22   p  and the forefinger  23   p  and the ends of the tube are squeezed together so that the radius  14   p  is reduced and the tube curves, whereby the transversal slit  1   p  widens.  
         [0407]     In  FIG. 90 , while device  1   p  is still being squeezed, the two open ends  12   p  and  13   p  are pushed through the widened slit  11   p  such that the edges of the slip  1   p  extend to the base of the skin tag  21   p.    
         [0408]      FIG. 91  shows how squeezing of the open sides  12   p  and  13   p  of device  1   p  with fingers  22   p  and  23   p  has ceased, whereby the slit,  1   p , by the inherent flexibility and elasticity of the polymer or natural material in device  1   p , is pressed together occluding the base of the skin tag  21   p . To enhance the squeezing effect of slit  11   p , the lowest part of the gap of both open sides  12   p  and  13   p  is pressed down using the fingers,  22   p  and  23   p , until part of the adhesive surface  15   p  is stuck to the skin surface  20   p  which causes the radius  14   p  to be straightened out in a line which follows the skin surface, and causes a narrow section of the cylindrical, total surface area of device  1   p  to stick to the skin surface  20   p.    
         [0409]     In  FIG. 92A , the open, circular side is pushed together with a finger,  22   p , causing it to take on a more elliptical shape, where the adhesive outside  15   p  sticks to the skin  20   p  and the two increasingly parallel, adhesive inner walls stick to each other.  
         [0410]     In  FIG. 92B , the cylindrical device  1   p  has been pressed together and the inner surfaces stuck to each other around skin tag  21   p  which has then been sealed within device  1   p . At the same time, the adhesive outer surface  15   p  of the cylindrical device  1   p  is stuck to the skin  20   p , fixing the sealed skin tag  21   p  to the skin. The top surface of the device  1   p  stuck to the skin is then easily covered with a conventional plaster or the like in order to enhance cosmetic acceptance.  
         [0411]     In another embodiment of the invention, the upper half of the short, more or less bent, tube-shaped device  1   p  can be covered by a non-removable, more or less flexible, non-adhesive protective film which facilitates squeezing of device  1   p  in  FIGS. 92A and 92B  and eliminates the risk of device  1   p  stuck on the skin adhering to clothes and other objects in the environment.  
       Example 15  
       [0412]     This embodiment of the invention is based upon the skin tag first being placed in an aperture in the device, after which a V-shaped section of the device is pulled against the base of the skin tag, thus occluding it with its V-shaped point. During the occlusion, the section slide on the protective film which, because it is stuck to the V-shaped section when removed, simultaneously pulls the two legs of the V-shaped section thus resulting in an occlusion of the base of the skin tag.  
         [0413]      FIG. 93  is a perspective view showing a device consisting of three connected parts  1   r ,  2   r  and  3   r , all of which have an adhesive underside. Section  1   r  has a circular, centrally located aperture  11   r  and a protective film  41   r  with a removal flap  411   r  on the underside and on the similarly adhesive upper side another protective film  4111   r , which extends past the adhesive surface of  1   r . Section  2   r  has a larger area than section  1   r , with a protective film  42   r  and a removal flap  421   r  on the adhesive underside. On the underside of section  3   r  there is a protective film  43   r  which projects on both sides of the section, eliminating the need for a special removal flap. On the upper side of section  3   r , there is a protective film  4311   r , which extends past the adhesive surface of section  3   r , through a fold which lies between sections  3   r  and  1   r . Through the two protective films  4111   r  and  4311   r , a V-shaped recess has been punched out in the central part of section  3   rr , which causes section  3   r  to have two legs, which are V-shaped with points pointing towards section  1   r.    
         [0414]     In  FIG. 94 , the two protective films  4111   r  and  4311   r  have been bent upwards as indicated by activity arrow  70   r  in  FIG. 93 , such that the point where the two legs of section  3   r  coincide can be seen more easily.  
         [0415]     In  FIG. 95 , the protective film  41   r  has been removed using removal flap  411   r  and section  1   r  of the device has been stuck to the skin  20   r , such that skin tag  21   r  sticks up through aperture  11   r.    
         [0416]     In  FIG. 96 , notch  31   r  in the two protective films  4111   r  and  4311   r  has been folded over skin tag  21   r , as shown by activity arrow  71   r  in  FIG. 95 . The stabilising protective film  43   r  has then been removed and notch  31   r  in section  3   r  has been folded over skin tag  21   r  using section  2   r . Then protective film  4311   r  is removed to activate the adhesive surfaces of the two V-shaped legs  3   r.    
         [0417]     In  FIG. 97A , the two protective films  4311   r  and  4111   r  can slide towards each other causing the power used for rolling off the protective film  4311   r  from the adhesive underside of section  3   r  and protective film  4111  from the upper side of section  1   r  to a stretching of the two V-shaped legs  3   r , and at the same time move section  2   r  in the direction indicated by activity arrow  74 . When the correct amount of stretching of the two legs  3   r  has been reached and the base of skin tag  21   r  has been stuck and occluded by the sides of the two legs  3   r  facing notch  31   r , some of the adhesive surface of  3   r  will stick to section  1   r  at protective film  411   r . When protective film  4111   r  is then removed as indicated by activity arrow  74 , the two legs  3   r  are stretched further because of the slight adhesion between section  3   r  and the protective films and the adhesive surfaces and the adhesive surfaces of sections  1   r  and  3   r  will finally be stuck to each other.  
         [0418]     In an alternative embodiment of the invention, shown in  FIG. 97B , the more or less flexible and elastic legs  3   r  are stretched using  2   r  in accordance with activity arrow  74   r  and then the stretched legs are successively locked by pulling off the protective film  4111   r  as indicated by the arrow  73   r . By stretching the two legs  3   r , the base of skin tag will be occluded from the sides by the tapered V-shaped notch.  
         [0419]      FIG. 98  illustrates how skin tag  21   r  is bent down onto the adhesive surface of section  3   r , after which protective film  42   r  is removed using removal flap  421   r , and section  2   r  is then bent down over the skin tag  21   r  which has been occluded by sections  1   r  and  3   r  and thereby sealed and fixed to the skin surface.  
       Example 16  
       [0420]     This embodiment of the invention is based upon tangential slits being punched, cut, incised, or in another way created in a concentric zone between the central and peripheral parts of a circular device.  
         [0421]      FIG. 99  is a perspective view of a thin, circular, more or less flexible and elastic disc consisting of two sections  1   s  and  2   s . The underside of the disc is adhesive and covered by a centrally positioned protective film  41   s  and by a peripheral protective film  42   s  which projects beyond the outer circular area of the device. In the centre of the disc-shaped device is an aperture  11   s , at the bottom of which a slit line  43   s  emanates, extends through protective film  41   s  and right up to the periphery of protective film  42   s . Two removal flaps for each of the protective films are then created.  
         [0422]      FIG. 100  is a perspective view, showing how a number of thin bow-formed cuts  3   s  have been punched, cut or incised in the outer peripheral part  31   s  of section  1   s.    
         [0423]      FIG. 101  is a perspective view showing how protective film  41   s  has been removed from the central section  1   s  and its outer part  31   s , and how aperture  11   s  in the device has been pulled over skin tag  21   s  and the central part of section  1   s  has been stuck to the skin surface  20   s.    
         [0424]      FIG. 102  shows how section  2   s  has been turned clockwise around section  1   s  which is stuck to the skin, as indicated by activity arrow  73   s . The more or less flexible and elastic, peripheral part  31   s  in  FIG. 101  is pulled through the cuts  3   s  and transformed to thin, band-shaped units  32   s  in  FIG. 102  with an adhesive underside. These units  32   s , which slide on protective film  42   s  during the clockwise twisting of section  2   s  in relation to section  1   s , will wind themselves around the base of skin tag  21   s  through their elasticity and flexibility and occlude the capillary blood flow. Protective film  42   s  is then removed and section  2   s  is stuck to the skin. The flexible and elastic units  32   s  tied around the base of the skin tag cause atrophy and rejection of the skin tag  21   s . To conceal and fix the occluded skin tag  21   s , a disc without an aperture  11   s  can be applied as indicated in  FIG. 99 , or a conventional plaster can be applied.  
       Example 17  
       [0425]     In this embodiment of the invention, the occlusion is obtained through a double-sided eccentric mechanism, where the base of the skin tag is squeezed from two diametrically opposite sides.  
         [0426]      FIG. 103  is a perspective view of a thin, more or less flexible and elastic device, consisting of four connected sections  1   t ,  2   t ,  3   t  and  4   t . Section  1   t  has an adhesive underside covered by protective film  41   t  with removal flap  411   t , and a centrally located square aperture,  11   t , more or less larger than the two sections  31   t  and  32   t , which through a fold are placed opposite each other on either side of section  1   t . Sections  31   t  and  32   t  have adhesive top sides covered by protective films  431   t  and  432   t ; and thin, flexible, harder, central parts  313   t  and  323   t , surrounded by a softer frame of thin, adhesive, flexible and elastic material with the small indentations,  312   t  and  322   t , opposite each other. Running transversally over the thin, flexible, harder central parts of each of the sections,  313   t  and  323   t  are the imprinted folds  311   t  or  321   t . Section  2   t , located on the other side of section  1   t , has a larger area than  1   t  with an adhesive top side covered by protective film  42   t  with removal flap  421   t.    
         [0427]     In  FIG. 104 , protective film  41   t  has been removed using removal flap  41  it and section it has been pulled over the skin such that skin tag  21   t  ends up as near as possible to the middle of the square aperture,  11   t , after which section  1   t  of the device is stuck to the skin,  20   t.    
         [0428]     In  FIG. 105 , the two protective films,  431   t  and  432   t , have been removed and sections  31   t  and  32   t  have been folded over the edges of section  1   t  and the square aperture  11   t . By carefully bending the pre-prepared folds  311   t  and  321   t  in sections  31   t  and  32   t , it is possible to bend the thin, flexible and harder sections  313   t  and  323   t , and place their surrounding soft, flexible and elastic frames with indentations  312   t  and  322   t  as near as possible to the skin tag without them sticking to the skin in the aperture lt.  
         [0429]      FIG. 106  illustrates how by pressing the upright pre-prepared folds,  311   t  and  321   t  down, it is possible to get the indentations  312   t  and  322   t , located opposite each other at the base of skin tag,  21   t , to move nearer to each other. The thin, flexible and harder parts  313   t  and  323   t  then stick to the skin in the aperture  11   t , and at the same time, the base of the skin tag  21   t  is occluded and stabilised on the skin.  
         [0430]      FIG. 107  illustrates how protective film  421   t  is removed using removal flap  42   t , and section  2   t  is bent over the occluded skin tag,  21   t . Because of its size, section  2   t  will completely cover the occluded skin tag in section  1   t . The skin tag is then sealed to the skin surface.  
       Example 18  
       [0431]     In this embodiment of the invention, a reversed eccentric principle with two opposing units is used to occlude the base of the skin tag.  
         [0432]      FIG. 108  is a perspective view of a device which is made up of four more or less elastic and flexible, connected sections  1   u ,  2   u ,  31   u  and  32   u  with protective films on the adhesive surfaces of the sections, indicated by the broken lines. Section  1   u  has an adhesive underside which is inactivated by protective film  41   u  with removal flap  411   u . In the central part of section  1   u , there is a notch  11   u  which is as wide as the two sections  31   u  and  32   u  combined. Its length is correlated to the length of sections  31   u  and  32   u , allowing a sufficient occlusion of the base of the skin tag to be achieved during the inversed eccentric movements. In the middle of sections  31   u  and  32   u  located opposite each other, there are two transversal pre-imprinted folds which give rise to two zones  313   u  and  312   u , or  323   u  and  322   u , which in relation to the rest of the device are more or less more rigid, and which more easily can be bent in relation to each other and to the other part of each of the sections  31   u  and  32   u . Each of the sections  31   u  and  32   u  have a triangle-shaped aperture,  311   u  and  321   u , with the point pointing out towards the free, short side of respective sections and an adhesive top side which is covered by its own protective film  431   u  and  432   u  with removal flaps  4311   u  and  4321   u . On a third side of section  1   u , there is a section  2   u , the length and width of which is more or less greater than that of section  1   u . Section  2   u  has an adhesive top side which is covered by protective film  42   u  with removal flap  421   u.    
         [0433]     In a perspective view of the device in  FIG. 109 , the protective film  41   u  has been removed using removal flat  411   u , and section  1   u  has been stuck to the skin so that the skin tag  21   u  ends up in the middle of notch  1   u . The protective film  431   u  is then removed using removal flap  431   u  and section  31   u  is then folded over section  1   u  in such a manner that the aperture  311   u  is pulled over the skin tag,  21   u . By bending sections  312   u  and  313   u , as shown in  FIG. 109 , the pointed fold in the triangle-shaped aperture  311   u  can be drawn against the base of the skin tag  21   u  to achieve an occlusion of the blood flow.  
         [0434]      FIG. 110  shows how the adhesive sides of sections  312   u  and  313   u  are almost completely pressed together, and how the occlusion is initiated from the other side by removing protective film  432   u , using removal flap  4321   u ; folding in section  32   u , and pulling the triangle-shaped opening  321   u  over the skin tag  21   u  such that section  32   u  ends up lying on top of section  31   u.    
         [0435]      FIG. 111  shows how, by continuing folding and successively sticking sections  322   u  and  323   u  to each other, the pointed tip of the triangle-shaped aperture  321   u  occludes the base of the skin tag  21   u  from the opposite direction compared to the pointed tip of the triangle-shaped aperture in section  31   u , significantly enhancing the effect of the occlusion.  
         [0436]     In  FIG. 112 , the two joined sections  312   u  and  313   u , and  322   u  and  323   u , have been folded over sections  31   u  and  32   u , respectively. The protective film  42   u  in section  2   u  has been removed using removal flap  421   u  and stuck on top of sections  31   u ,  32   u  and  1   u  to lock, fix and conceal the occluded skin tag,  21   u  to the skin surface.  
       Example 19  
       [0437]     This embodiment of the invention is based upon a band-shaped device with three sections, each of which has a central aperture. The sections can be bent, stretched or stuck on top of each other in such a manner that the central aperture in each section is moved in relation to the aperture in the other sections, leading to an occlusion of the base of the skin tag.  
         [0438]      FIG. 113  shows an overview of a thin, more or less flexible, band-shaped device consisting of an H-shaped section with two legs  1   v  and  2   v  and a narrower connection  31   v  with the central aperture  311   v  in the middle of the legs. The first section has an adhesive underside, covered by protective film  41   v  with removal flap  411   v . Another H-shaped section consists of legs  5   v  and  6   v  with a connection  32   v  with aperture  321   v  in between the legs, and an adhesive top side, with protective film  45   v  and removal flap  451   v . A third section has legs  7   v  and  8   v  with a connection  33   v  in between the legs, and a central aperture  331   v , and an adhesive top side with protective film  47   v  and removal flap  471   v.    
         [0439]      FIG. 114  shows how protective film  41   v  has been pulled from underneath sections  1   v  and  31   v  and the central aperture  311   v  has been pulled over the skin tag,  21   v . Section  31   v  has then been stretched in the direction indicated by activity arrow  71   v ; the round aperture  311   v   1  is thus stretched into an oval aperture  311   v   2 , and the right side of the base of the skin tag,  21   v , is thus occluded. When the stretching and occlusion is deemed satisfactory, and section  2   v  is stretched a distance  72   v ; the protective film  41   v  is removed from underneath section  2   v , and then stuck to the skin.  
         [0440]      FIG. 115  is a cross section along CXV-CXV in  FIG. 114  showing how by stretching section  2   v  a distance  72   v  has lengthened section  31   v  and aperture  311   v , as indicated by the activity arrow  71   v , such that the aperture  311   v  is extended on one side into position  311   v   1 , enabling the other side of skin tag  21   v  to be occluded.  
         [0441]      FIG. 116  shows how protective film  45   v  has been removed from section  5   v  and  32   v  using removal flap  451   v . Sections  5   v ,  32   v  and  6   v  are then folded over sections  1   v ,  31   v  and  6   v  lying on the skin, and aperture  321   v  is pulled over skin tag  21   v , after which section  5   v  is stuck on top of section  2   v . Section  32   v  is then stretched using section  6   v , distance  76   v , as indicated by the activity arrow  75   v , until the aperture  321   v  is extended to a position  321   v   1  which is sufficient to enable the base of the skin tag  21   v  to be occluded from the side opposite to that achieved with aperture  311   v  in position  311   v   1 .  
         [0442]      FIG. 117  is a cross section of  FIG. 116  along to line CXVll-CXVll and shows how the base of skin tag  21   v  is subjected to tightening in the same direction as the elongation of different layers  1   v ,  31   v ,  2   v  and  5   v ,  32   v    6   v , thus occluding the blood flow.  
         [0443]     In  FIG. 118 , the upright sections  7   v ,  33   v  and  8   v  in  FIG. 116  have been folded down, stretched and stuck over sections  6   v ,  32   v  and  5   v , such that the aperture  331   v  is stretched to a new form  331   v   2  to increase the occlusion of the base of the skin tag  21   v.    
         [0444]      FIG. 119  is a cross section of  FIG. 118  along the line CXlX-CXlX and shows how section  1   v  has been stuck to the skin and  20   v  and how section  31   v  with aperture  311   v  has been stretched to the new position  311   v   2  using section  2   v , thus pressing and occluding the lower part of skin tag  21   v . Likewise section  5   v  is stuck on top of section  2   v  and this extension  22   v  and how section  321   v  is stretched to a new position  321   v   2 , using section  6   v , which presses and occludes the base of the skin tag in the opposite direction. Finally,  FIG. 119  shows how section  7   v  is stuck to the stretched sections  6   v  and  62   v , and how section  33   v  is stretched with section  8   v  so that the aperture  331   v  reaches a new position,  331   v   2 , which presses and occludes skin tag  21   v  in the opposite direction compared to the underlying layers  5   v ,  32   v  and  6   v.    
         [0445]      FIG. 120  is a simplified and reduced overview of  FIG. 118  showing how  1   v  and  2   v  of the original band-shaped device in  FIG. 113  is stuck to the skin and how the two other sections  5   v  and  6   v  as well as  7   v  and  8   v  are then bent over each other and together form three layers on top of the skin around the occluded skin tag  21   v.    
         [0446]      FIG. 121  shows an independent, more or less elastic section  9   v , originating from the original band-shaped device in  FIG. 113 , which has a surface which on all sides is larger than the total area created by the three joined sections  1   v ,  31   v ,  2   v  and  5   v ,  32   v ,  6   v , and  7   v ,  33   v  and  8   v . The independent section  9   v  has an adhesive side which is covered by protective film  49   v  with removal flap  491   v.    
         [0447]     In  FIG. 122 , the protective film  49   v  has been removed using removal flap  491   v  and section  9   v  has been stuck on top of the three layers of the band-shaped device in  FIG. 113 , which occludes skin tag  21   v . Section  9   v  is applied in such a manner that the entire device in  FIG. 120  is completely covered and the occluded skin tag  21   v  is folded down and fixed parallel to the skin surface, using the adhesive side of  9   v.    
       Example 20  
       [0448]     The embodiment of the device is based upon a device consisting of a softer, adhesive under layer and a harder top layer with flaps bending in, which when bent into the centre from different sides, will occlude the base of the skin tag in the centre.  
         [0449]      FIG. 123  is an overview of a device, consisting of two layers, where the bottom layer consists of a square or circular thin, soft, more or less flexible section  2   x  with a centrally located aperture  11   x , which on the underside is covered by a protective film  42   x  with a removal flap  421   x . On top of the bottom section  2   x , there is an upper, more rigid section  1   x  with an adhesive underside which in its peripheral outer edge is connected with the bottom section  2   x . The central area of the upper part of the section  1   x  is cut out in for example flaps  31   x ,  32   x ,  33   x  and  34   x , which are bent backwards over the outer edge of the peripherally connected sections  1   x  and  2   x  and covered by a protective film  41   x , with removal flap  411   x . Flaps  31   x ,  32   x ,  33   x  and  34   x  have in their free points a little radius which when folded in towards the central aperture  11   x  in the bottom part  2   x  of the device occludes the base of the skin tag  21   x  in an optimum manner.  
         [0450]      FIG. 124  is a cross section of  FIG. 123  along the line CXXlV-CXXlV and shows how section  1   x  and  2   x  are connected in the periphery and how the incised flaps  31   x  and  33   x  with their respective free pointed radii  311   x  and  331   x  in the upper section  1   x  of the device have been folded back from the central part with aperture  11   x  in the bottom part  2   x  of the device and fixed permanently in this position by protective film  41   x.    
         [0451]      FIG. 125  shows how protective films  41   x  and  42   x  have been removed using removal flaps  411   x  and  421   x , and how the bottom part  2   x  of the device has been stuck to the skin  20   x  such that the skin tag  21   x  sticks up through the centrally located aperture  11   x.    
         [0452]     In  FIG. 126 , the four flaps  31   x ,  32   x ,  33   x  and  34   x  in  FIG. 125  have been folded and at the same time drawn back in towards the central aperture  11   x , until the pointed radii  311   x ,  321   x ,  331   x  and  341   x  push against the base of skin tag  21   x . A finger is then pushed against the top side of each flap  31   x ,  32   x ,  33   x  and  34   x  such that the adhesive underside of the respective flaps sticks to the top side of the bottom part  2   x  of the device located on the skin  20   x.    
         [0453]      FIG. 127  illustrates, relative to sections  1   x  and  2   x ; an independent, thin, more or less elastic section  5   x , whose adhesive side is covered by protective film  45   x  with removal flap  451   x . The area of  5   x  is more or less larger than the area of section causing the occlusion of the skin tag  21   x  with sections  1   x  and  2   x  in  FIG. 126 .  
         [0454]     In  FIG. 128 , protective film  45   x  is removed  451   x  from section  5   x , which is then stuck on top of the occluded skin tag  21   x  in  FIG. 126 . Skin tag  21   x  is then folded down and stuck to one or some of the top sides of flaps  31   x ,  32   x ,  33   x , or  34   x  of section  1   x . Additionally, section  5   x  is applied to the skin  20   x  on top of skin tag  21   x  which has been occluded by section  1   x  in such a manner that the entire section  1   x  is covered, further sealing the device on the skin  20   x.    
       Example 21  
       [0455]     This Example is a variant of the previous Example 20, where the different flaps are given reinforced radii, facilitating the application of the device and occlusion of the skin tag. The device also consists of a built-in section for final covering and fixing of the occluded skin tag to the skin surface.  
         [0456]      FIG. 129  is an overview of the band-shaped, more or less hard device consisting of two connected sections  1   y  and  2   y  united by a pre-prepared fold  12   y , which is stuck to the skin  20   y  such that the skin tag  21   y  ends up in the middle of the big, open, central part of section  1   y . The central part of section  1   y  is cut out into flaps  31   y ,  32   y ,  33   y  and  34   y , each of which has an adhesive underside. In each of the four more or less hard flaps  31   y ,  32   y ,  33   y  and  34   y , two sector-shaped folds have been imprinted, giving the flap the profile of a truncated cone, thus achieving greater stability and an enhanced, more controllable occlusion of skin tag  21   y . In flap  31   y , by punching out the flap, the tip of the flap has been given a little radius  313   y , while simultaneously imprinting radii  311   y  and  312   y  from above. In the opposite flap  33   y , the tip of the flap has been given a radius  333   y  and folds  331   y  and  332   y  have been imprinted from below. Equivalent punching out and imprinting has been carried out for flaps  32   y  and  34   y  each with tip radii  323   y  and  343   y  and reinforcing folds  321   y  and  322   y  and in  341   y  and  342   y.    
         [0457]      FIG. 130  is a cross section along the line CXXX-CXXX in  FIG. 129  and shows how the two folds  31   y  and  33   y  from the beginning take on positions  31   y   1  and  33   y   1 . The flaps opposite each other  31   y  and  33   y , with their adhesive sides upwards, are then turned in towards the base of the skin tag,  21   y , to positions  31   y   2  and  33   y   2  respectively. They finally end up in positions  31   y   3  and  33   y   3  respectively, where they stick to the skin and occlude the base of the skin tag  21   y  by means of radii  313   y  and  333   y . The equivalent happens with the opposite flaps  32   y  and  34   y , whose radii  323   y  and  343   y  will occlude the base of the skin tag in a straight angle to the flaps  31   y  and  32   y  already stuck to the skin, as shown in  FIG. 131 .  
         [0458]      FIG. 131  is an overview showing how protective film  42   y  is removed using removal flap  421   y  in section  2   y  in  FIG. 129  and is then bent along fold  12   y  over section  1   y  with the occluded skin tag  21   y  which is then turned down and stuck on top of one or some of the flaps  31   y ,  32   y ,  33   y  or  34   y .  FIG. 131  also shows how the opposing flaps  31   y  and  32   y , and  33   y  and  34   y  with their reinforcing folds  311   y  and  312   y ,  321   y  and  322   y ,  331   y  and  332   y ,  341   y  and  342   y  and their radii  313   y ,  323   y ,  333   y  and  343   y  occlude the base of the skin tag  21   y  as previously described in  FIG. 130 .  
       Example 22  
       [0459]     This Example according to the invention is a variant of Examples 10 and 16, where the astringent section of the device consists of a thin, elastic cone-shaped film or cloth, running from a central position in one section out to a peripheral position in the outer section.  
         [0460]      FIG. 132  is an overview of a device illustrating a circular section  1   z  with an adhesive underside, consisting of a central circular disc. Stuck around the central aperture  11   z  in the disc, is a cone-shaped, more or less elastic and adhesive, thin film or cloth  3   z . The other end of the cone-shaped film  3   z  is fixed around the inside of a ring-shaped section  2   z , also with an adhesive underside, the diameter of which is more or less greater than the outer diameter of section  1   z.    
         [0461]     In  FIG. 133 , the central section  1   z  and the outer section  2   z  of the device according to the invention is divided such that the cone-shaped film  3   z , located between them, is stretched to show its extend.  
         [0462]      FIG. 134  is a cross section along the line CXXXlV-CXXXlV in  FIG. 133 , illustrating the positions of the ring-shaped protective films,  41   z  and  42   z , the outer side of which projects beyond the adhesive areas forming continuous removal flaps. Also illustrated is the cone-shaped, more or less elastic, adhesive film  3   z.    
         [0463]     In  FIG. 135 , the protective film  41   z  has been removed from section  1   z  in  FIG. 134  and the central aperture  11   z  has been pulled over the skin tag  21   z , following which section  1   z  has been stuck to the skin  20   z.    
         [0464]     In  FIG. 136 , the outer section,  2   z , is rotated concentrically outside the inner section  1   z , as indicated by the activity arrow  70   z , whereupon the existing film  3   z  between sections  1   z  and  2   z  is stretched, extended and folded over, thus occluding the base of the skin tag,  21   z.    
         [0465]      FIG. 137  illustrates how the protective film  42   z  is removed from the adhesive surface of section  2   z  using slit lines  421   z  and  422   z ; and then stuck to the skin surface  20   z , locking occluding film  3   z  into an occlusive position around the skin tag  21   z.    
       Example 23  
       [0466]     This Example according to the invention is a modification of Example 16, where the occlusive sections are fixed to the device via a flexible upwards movement. The part of the section causing the occlusion consists of a reinforced, adhesive outer part and posterior notch making it more elastic and flexible.  
         [0467]      FIG. 138  is an overview of a device consisting of a larger central section  3   a  with a centrally located aperture  11 å and an adhesive underside covered by protective film  43 å with a removal flap  431 å. On one side of the central aperture  11 å in section  3 å, there is a lever  31 å fixing and dividing a section into a central part  2 å and a peripheral part  1 å, and a lever  32 å with section with the central part  5 å and a peripheral part  4 å. Located on the underside of sections  1 å and  5 å are protective films  41 å and  44 å respectively; and between section  2 å and lever  31 å and section  5 å and lever  32 å are protective films  42 å and  45 å, respectively. Part of the edges of sections  2 å and  5 å facing aperture  11 å has been bent into folds  22 å and  52 å, and a number of notches  23 å and  53 å have been punched, incised or cut out in each section.  
         [0468]      FIG. 139  is a cross section along the line CXXXIX-CXXXIX showing the central aperture  11 å and how the lever  31 å and  32 å with their protective films  42 å and  45 å have been bent such that the distance between the turned up edges  22 å and  52 å is as great as possible. The positions of protective film  45 å with removal flap  431 å on the underside of section  3 å and the two protective films  41 å and  44 å on the underside of the peripheral part of each section  1   a  and  4   a  are also shown.  
         [0469]      FIG. 140  is an overview where the protective film  43 å has been removed, skin tag  21 å has been placed into aperture  11 å and the entire section  3 å has then been stuck to the skin,  20 å. Protective films  42 å and  45 å in  FIG. 139  have then been removed and the two levers  31 å and  32 å together with both their sections have been lifted up and bent forwards such that the turned up edges  22 å and  52 å are orientated towards the base of the skin tag  21 å.  
         [0470]      FIG. 141  is a cross section along the line CXXXXI-CXXXXI in  FIG. 140 , where the central parts  2 å and  5 å of the sections are maneuvered by means of peripheral parts  1 å and  4 å of the sections, together with levers  31 å and  32 å such that the edges  22 å and  52 å are stuck to the base of the skin tag  21 å. Protective films  41 å,  42 å,  44 å and  45 å are then removed and sections  2 å,  1 å,  5 å and  4 å are stuck on top of section  3 å. As a result, notches  23 å and  53 å are distorted, and via the opposite edges  22 å and  52 å exert a constant pressure on the base of the skin tag,  21 å, occluding the blood flow. The skin tag  21 å fixed upright on the skin surface can then be covered by a plaster, or operating tape, or a bandage to enhance its cosmetic appearance.  
       Example 24  
       [0471]     In this example, the skin tag is squeezed between the turns of a spiral such that the base is occluded. The skin tag is lying inside the spiral and is then bent downwards and sealed to the skin surface.  
         [0472]      FIG. 142  is an overview of a device constituting a short, more or less resilient spiral consisting of metal, polymer or a textile band  1   ä  which is covered on both sides by both sections  3   ä  and  5   ä . Section  3   ä  has outside the spiral a one direction fold  31   ä  and a band-shaped section  32   ä  with an adhesive upper side, covered by protective film  43   ä  with removal flat  431   ä . The other side of the spiral  1   ä  is covered by section  5   ä , which via one direction fold  51   ä , continues into the band-shaped section  52   ä  which has two adhesive sides covered by protective films  451   ä  and  452   ä  and their respective removal flaps  4511   ä  and  4521   ä.    
         [0473]      FIG. 143  is an overview showing an independent section of the device consisting of a thin, more or less flexible and elastic circular disc  6   ä . Its adhesive side is covered by protective film  46   ä , which has a slit line  461   ä  which facilitates removal of the protective film.  
         [0474]      FIG. 144  is a vertical side view of the device in  FIG. 142 , where the spiral section  1   ä  is covered on both sides by sections  3   ä  and  5   ä . After fold  51   ä , section  5   ä  continues out the folded section  52   ä , both sides of which are adhesive and covered with protective films  451   ä  and  452   ä  with respective removal flaps  4511   ä  and  4521   ä . After fold  31   ä , section  3   ä  is similarly angled out to section  32   ä  with an adhesive side, covered by protective film  43   ä  with removal flap  4321   ä.    
         [0475]     In  FIG. 145 , the two folded sections  32   ä  and  52   ä , shown in  FIG. 144 , have been clamped together, upon which  3   ä  and  5   ä , because of the one direction folds  31   ä  and  51   ä , will open the more or less resilient spiral  1   ä  on the opposite side. The spiral  1   ä  is then pulled over skin tag  21   ä  and down onto the skin surface  20   ä.    
         [0476]      FIG. 146  shows how spiral  1   ä  is clamped around the base of skin tag  21   ä , and how the protective film  451   ä , which has been removed using removal flap  4511   ä , has been bent over fold  51   ä , and stuck to section  5   ä . Protective film  452   ä  has then been removed using removal flap  4521   ä  and spiral  1   ä  containing the occluded skin tag  21   ä  has been bent downwards 90 degrees and stuck to the skin with section  52   ä . Protective film  43   ä  has then been removed using removal flap  4321   ä  and bent over fold  31   ä  and stuck to section  3   ä  which is located on the horizontally fixed spiral  1   ä  encompassing the occluded skin tag  21   ä . Finally, protective film  46   ä  is removed from section  6   ä  using slit line  261   ä , as shown in  FIG. 143 , and section  6   ä  has then been stuck over the spiral section  1   ä  lying on the skin, which further fixes skin tag  21   ä  to the skin and conceals this occluded base rendering it cosmetically pleasing.  
       Example 25  
       [0477]     In this example, according to the invention, the force used to occlude the base of the skin tag is taken up by a flexible and very short hinge-like connection between the two sections of the device.  
         [0478]      FIG. 147  shows a thin, band-shaped device consisting of two equally large sections  1   ö  and  2   ö  with an adhesive underside covered by protective films  41   ö  and  42   ö  each with their own removal flaps  411   ö  and  421   ö  and which are held together by a thin, small and strong connection  12   ö . A larger section  3   ö  with protective film  43   ö  and removal flap  431   ö  on the top side is connected to the long side of section  2   ö  in a foldable manner.  
         [0479]     In  FIG. 148 , protective film  41   ö  is removed using removal flap  421   ö , after which sections  1   ö  and  2   ö  are folded up over the short, flexible connection  12   ö  and section  1   ö  is stuck to the skin  20   ö  with skin tag  21   ö  as near as the connection  12   ö  as possible. After the protective film  42   ö  in  FIG. 148  has been removed, section  2   ö  is stuck to the skin  20   ö  in  FIG. 149  so near the long side of section  1   ö  that the base of skin tag  21   ö  is clamped and occluded near the short, flexible and strong connection  12   b.    
         [0480]      FIG. 150  shows how section  3   ö  is bent down over the occluded skin tag  21   ö  which then is sealed and immobilised parallel to the skin surface  20   ö  on top of sections  1   ö  and  2   ö.    
       Example 26  
       [0481]     The device in this example consists of a little, two-piece box with an adhesive underside which is stuck to the skin. The top side of the box can be moved, whereby the base of the skin tag in the box is occluded and finally is encased in the closed box.  
         [0482]     The device consists of an upper part which is described in  FIG. 151  and consists of a disc of metal, polymer or natural material  3   aa , where three of the outer edges  32   aa ,  33   aa  and  35  of the disc are bent under the disc. On top of the fourth side there is a downwardly directed groove  34   aa  which forms part of a snap-lock. In section  3   aa  there is a transversal, vertical, parallel epipedic disc  31   aa  which is fixed to the surface of the disc. The vertical disc  31   aa  has a slightly resilient under edge  311   aa  allowing a gentle occlusion of the base of the skin tag  21   aa  as shown in  FIG. 154 .  
         [0483]     The other part is described in  FIG. 152 , where a small, parallel epipedic box  1   aa  on the top side has three smooth, flared edges  14   aa ,  15   aa  and  15   aa , while on the fourth side  13   aa  there is an upwardly directed groove which forms the second part in a snap-lock. Centrally in the bottom of the box  1   aa , there is a semi-circular aperture  11   aa , beside the edge of which there is a skewed, parallel epipedic disc  12   aa  hanging from the long side of box  1   aa , the under edge of which is lightly resilient to, when in contact with the resilient edge  311   aa  in section  3   aa , effectively and gently occlude skin tag  21   aa . Under the bottom of the box  16   aa , there is an adhesive layer which is covered by protective film  41   aa  with removal flap  411   aa.    
         [0484]     In  FIG. 153 , folds  32   aa  and  33   aa  in  3   aa  have been pulled over the flanges  14   aa  and  15   aa  in box  1   aa  in  FIG. 152 . Section  3   aa  in  FIG. 151  now acts as a lid for box  1   aa  and can be moved backwards and forwards with precision, as shown by the activity arrow  36   aa , which is necessary to ensure that the device according to the invention produces an occlusion.  
         [0485]      FIG. 154  shows how protective film  41   aa  is first removed and how the skin tag  21   aa  is pulled through the aperture  1   aa  and placed in contact with the under edge of disc  12   aa . Section  3   aa  which functions as a lid has then been permanently fixed to section  1   aa  using folds  32   aa  and  33   aa , controlled by the flanges  14   aa  and  15   aa  which stabilise the movement of disc  31   aa  and the resilient edge  311   aa  against skin tag  21   aa . The disc  31   aa  is then resilient against disc  12   aa  occluding base of the skin tag  21   aa  which is simultaneously bent over and behind the lower disc  12   aa.    
         [0486]     In  FIG. 155 , section  3   aa  has been moved on top of the entire section  1   aa  such that the snap-lock  33   aa  and  34   aa  are locked and the lock tension is maintained by the flange  16   aa  which is locked in fold  35   aa . The resilient discs  31   aa  and  12   aa  are now locked against each other and stabilise the occluded skin tag within the device consisting of sections  1   aa  and  5   aa  locked in relation to each other.  
       Example 27  
       [0487]     The device consists of two double-flanged, narrow wheels on top of each other, where the smaller upper wheel has an O-ring which can be bent down over the larger lower wheel and thereby occlude the base of the skin tag.  
         [0488]      FIG. 156  is an overview showing the smaller double-flanged wheel  3   ab  with O-ring  31   ab  on top of the lower double-flanged wheel  1   ab , where a little indentation  11   ab  has been made in the flanges. On the adhesive side of the lower wheel  1   ab , there is a protective film  4   ab  with slit line  42   ab.    
         [0489]      FIG. 157  is a cross section of  FIG. 156  along the line CLVll-CLVll, where the adhesive layer  41   ab  with its protective film  42   ab  is located on the underside of the double-flanged wheel  1   ab  with indentation  11   ab . Above wheel  1   ab  is a similar double-flanged wheel  3   ab  with O-ring  31   ab.    
         [0490]     In  FIG. 158 , the protective film  4   ab  separated by slit line  42   ab  has been removed and the adhesive layer  41   ab  has connected the double-flanged wheel  1   ab  to skin surface  20   ab , in such a manner that skin tag  21   ab  fits in the indentation  11   ab.    
         [0491]     In  FIG. 159 , O-ring  31   ab  has been rolled or folded down with the fingers  22   ab  and  23   ab  from the double-flanged upper wheel  3   ab  over the upper flange of the lower wheel  1   ab  which is stuck on the skin. Because of the greater radius of the lower wheel,  1   ab , the O-ring  31   ab  will stretch and occlude the base of the skin tag,  21   ab.    
       Example 28  
       [0492]     This Example is a variant of Example 27, where the smaller, double-flanged, upper wheel is turned in relation of the under, larger, adhesive wheel.  
         [0493]      FIG. 160  is an overview of the device where the upper double-flanged, smaller wheel  3   ad  is turned in relation to the larger, double-flanged wheel  1   ad  having its adhesive layer  4   ad  covered with protective film  41   ad , the removal of which is facilitated by slit line  42   ad  and the area  13   ad  in between the wheels with aperture  12   ad  above indentation  11   ad.    
         [0494]      FIG. 161  is a cross section of  FIG. 160  along the lines CLXl-CLXl demonstrating how the angle between the two double-flanged wheels  3   ad  with the O-rings  31   ad  and  1   ad  lying on the outside are covered by a thin wall  13   ad  with aperture  12   ad . The lower double-flanged wheel  3   ad  with indentation  11   ad  and the adhesive underside  4   a  with protective film  41   ad  can also be seen.  
         [0495]      FIG. 162  shows a thin, more or less flexible and elastic film  5   ad  with an adhesive side covered by protective film  34   ad , the removal of which has been facilitated by slit line  451   ad.    
         [0496]      FIG. 163  is a front view of the device, showing the lower wheel  1   ad  with an indentation  11   ad  and the adhesive layer  4   ad . Also shown are the upper wheel  3   ad  with O-ring  31   ad  and the thin wall  13   ad  with aperture  12   ad  lying between.  
         [0497]     In  FIG. 164 , the protective film  41   ad  has been removed using slit line  42   ad  and the lower double-flanged wheel  1   ad  with its adhesive surface  4   ad  has been stuck to the skin  20   ad  in such a manner that the skin tag  21   ad  has ended up as far into the indentation  11   ad  as possible. The O-ring  31   ad  is then rolled or folded with a finger  23   ad  down over the thin wall  13   ad  causing the skin tag  21   ad  to be pushed through the aperture  12   ad  in the thin wall  13   ad.    
         [0498]      FIG. 165  shows how the O-ring  31   ad  occludes the base of the skin tag  21   ad  on the skin surface  20   ad . Finally, the protective film  45   ad  is removed from the thin, adhesive, crescent-shaped film  5   ad  which is then stuck on top of the thin wall  13   ad  in  FIG. 166 , following which the occluded skin tag  21   ad  is enclosed and protected in the now enclosed space between the double-flanged wheels  1   ad  and  3   ad.    
       Example 29  
       [0499]     A third variant of the device with an occluding O-ring according to the invention is shown in  FIG. 167 , which is an overview of the band-shaped device, consisting of section  12   ac  with an adhesive underside covered by protective film  41   ac  with removal flap  411   ac . Section  12   ac  has a aperture  11   ac  which is located next to the indentation  13   ac  in the double-flanged wheel  1   ac . Placed concentrically above the upper wheel  1   ac  is an additional double-flanged wheel  3   ac  with a notch  14   ac ; over which the O-ring  31   ac  extends, and where the strap  32   ac  around O-ring  31   ac  can be clearly seen. The other section  5   ac  of the band-shaped device has an adhesive upper side which is covered by protective film  45   ac  with removal flap  451   ac.    
         [0500]      FIG. 168  is a cross section along the line CLXVlll-CLXVlll in  FIG. 167  and shows section  12   ac  of the device with the double-flanged wheel  3   ac  with its notch  14   ac ; O-ring  31   ac  and strap  32   ac  extend concentrically on top of the other wheel  3   ac  with indentation  13   ac  and the aperture  11   ac  located outside. Section  12   ac  has an adhesive underside with protective film  41   ac  and removal flap  411   ac . It is also possible to see that the other section  5   ac  of the device has an adhesive upper side with protective film  45   ac  and removal flap  451   ac.    
         [0501]     In the longitudinal section shown in  FIG. 169 , the removal flap  411   ac  has been used to remove the protective film  41   ac , after aperture  11   ac  is pulled over skin tag  21   ac  and section  12   ac  is stuck to the skin  20   ac . The strap  31   ac  is then gripped between the thumb  23   ac  and the forefinger  22   ac  and pulled out and over skin tag  21   ac.    
         [0502]      FIG. 170  is a longitudinal section where the strap  32   ac  has been released by the fingers  22   ac  and  23   ac , and O-ring  31   ac  has contracted in the double-flanged wheel  1   ac  occluding the base of the skin tag  21   ac  in indentation  13   ac . At the same time, skin tag  21   ac  has been folded in through the notch  14   ac  into the empty central space in the double-flanged wheels  3   ac  and  1   ac.    
         [0503]      FIG. 171  is a longitudinal section, showing how the strap  31   ac  has been folded in through the notch  14   ac  and how protective film  45   ac  in  FIG. 170  has been removed using removal flap  451   ac . The adhesive surface of section  5   ac  has been stuck over section  12   ac  which is then sealed with the occluded skin tag  21   ac  on the skin surface.  
       Example 30  
       [0504]     In this example according to the invention, an occlusion can be achieved through a minute aperture and the inherent elasticity of the device.  
         [0505]     The cone-shaped, elastic device  1   af  in  FIG. 172  has according to the invention four arms  12   af ,  13   af ,  14   af  and  15   af  extending from a common central part, in the centre of which is a minute aperture  11   af . The underside of the four arms  12   af ,  13   af ,  14   af  and  15   af  and the central part between the arms is adhesive and covered by protective films  4   af  and  44   af  and removal flaps  41   af  and  441   af . Above arms  12   af  and  15   af  and fixed to the common central part is a pair of similar-sized arms  17   af  and  16   af , each of which have their own adhesive underside which is covered by protective film  47   af  with removal flap  471   af  and protective film  46   af  with removal flap  461   af.    
         [0506]     In  FIG. 173 , protective film  4   af  has been removed using removal flap  41   af  and the two arms  12   af  and  15   af  and half of the common central part of section  1   af  has been stuck to the skin  20   af  such that the skin tag  21   af  is located as near the minute aperture  11   af  as possible. The Fig. also shows how the free arms  13   af  and  14   af  with protective film  44   af  and removal flap  441   af  are gripped between the thumbs and forefingers  23   af  and  22   af , or  25   af  and  24   af.    
         [0507]     Using the thumbs and forefingers  23   af  and  22   af  and also  25   af  and  24   af , the specially elastic, common, central part of the device is stretched  1   af  in  FIG. 174 , together with arms  13   af  and  14   af  such that the minute aperture  11   af  is stretched and pulled over the skin tag,  12   af , while the arms  12   af  and  15   af  stuck to the skin, with their arms  17   af  and  16   af  fixed to the central part, resist the force produced by fingers  22   af ,  23   af ,  24   af  and  25   af.    
         [0508]     In  FIG. 175 , the stretching of the common elastic part of the device  1   af  has ceased and aperture  11   af  contracted to its original size, occluding the base of the skin tag  21   af . The protective film  44   af  has been removed using removal flap  441   af , after which the relaxed arms  13   af  and  14   af  stick to the skin surface  20   af.    
         [0509]      FIG. 176  shows how the protective films  46   af  and  47   af  are removed using removal flaps  461   af  and  471   af , after which arms  16   af  and  17   af  are folded down from two different directions over the centrally placed skin tag  21   af  which is then stuck and fixed to the upper side of the common elastic part of the device  1   af  on the skin surface  21   af . It is also possible to partially pull off protective films  4   af  and  44   af  in  FIG. 172 , and then grip the device with both hands and with one&#39;s fingers in the central part, stretch out the aperture  11   af , pull it over the skin tag  21   af , and then letting the central part between arms  12   af ,  134   af ,  14   af  and  15   af  contract such that the aperture  11   af  occludes the base of the skin tag shown in  FIG. 175 .  
         [0510]     The protective films  4   af  and  44   af  are then removed, and the four arms  12   af ,  13   af ,  14   af  and  15   af  are stuck to the skin surface  20   af , arms  16   af  and  17   af  are then folded over the skin tag,  21   af , which is sealed to the skin surface  20   af  as shown in  FIG. 176 .  
       Example 31  
       [0511]     The occlusion of the skin tag according to the invention in this example has been achieved by a low and a high wing in the lid or in the bottom of a round, portion-like, more or less hard device. When the lid of the device is turned in relation to the bottom, the base of the skin tag is clamped between the two wings such that an occlusion of the blood flow occurs.  
         [0512]      FIG. 177  is an overview showing the bottom part of the device  1   ag  with an adhesive underside which is covered by protective films  41   ag  and  43   ag  which can be removed using slit line  42   ag . A narrow tube  17   ag  is fixed centrally in the bottom of section  1   ag , from which extends a low wing  15   ag  which is fixed in the outer wall of section  1   ag  and which has a free, more or less bent and slightly resilient under edge to  16   ag . Under and next to the resilient edge  16   ag  is an aperture  11   ag  in the adhesive bottom of section  1   ag . On the upper edge of the inside of the circular wall in section  1   ag , there are two diametrically opposite, narrow bands, at the end of which are small, parallel epipedic areas  12   ag  and  13   ag . Peripherally outside the circular wall of section  1   a  there is a circular track of two grooves  14   ag  facing towards each other.  
         [0513]      FIG. 178  is an overview of the other section  3   g  of the device with a centrally placed tube  37   ag  in the lid, from which extends a fixed wing  36   ag  which does not reach the circular wall of the section. The high wing  36   ag  has a convex, bent, more or less resilient, and free under edge,  361   ag . At the top edge of the outside of the circular wall in section  3   g , there are two bands  32   ag  and  33   ag  located opposite each other with parallel epipedic surfaces which are turned towards the other side in relation to the areas on the bands  12   ag  and  13   af  in  FIG. 177 . On the lower edge of the circular wall of section  3   ag , there is a narrow, outwardly directed, circular rim  34   ag.    
         [0514]      FIG. 179  shows how protective films  41   ag  and  43   ag  have been removed and how section  1   ag  has been stuck to the skin  20   ag  with skin tag  21   ag  sticking up through the aperture  11   ag  as near the low wing  15   ag  and its edge  16   ag  as possible.  
         [0515]     In  FIG. 180 , section  3   ag  is positioned as a lid over section  1   ag  of device  31   ag , where the connected tubes  17   ag  and  37   ag  help to centre and stabilise the device on the skin  20   ag . The union formed by the rotatable snap-lock  143   ag  of the two grooves  14   ag  in  FIG. 177  and the rim  34   ag  in  FIG. 178  is also stabilised. The lid  3   ag  is positioned in such a manner that the two diametrically opposite bands  12   ag  and  13   ag , as well as bands  32   ag  and  33   ag  do not get too near to each other and that the large wing  36   ag  with its free lower edge  361   ag  is placed behind skin tag  21   ag.    
         [0516]     In  FIG. 181 , the lid  3   ag  in device  31   ag  has been turned clockwise as indicated by the activity arrow  7   ag , after which the two small, parallel epipedic, turned areas in bands  12   ag  and  32   ag  and  13   ag  and  33   ag  can slide over each other but lock into each other when the high wing  36   ag  and its lower edge  361   ag  compress the base of the skin tag  21   ag  against the low wing  15   ag  and its lower edge  16   ag . At the same time, the high wing  36   ag  presses the occluded skin tag  21   ag  above the upper edge of the low wing  15   ag . The skin tag  21   ag  is now concealed and occluded between the resilient edges  16   ag  and  361   ag  and is fixed on the skin surface  21   ag  as long as snap-lock  143   ag  is connected.  
       Example 32  
       [0517]     In this example, according to the invention, the device consists of two sections, where in one of the adhesive sections, there is an arranged thread which is tied around the base of the skin tag, causing an occlusion, and where the other section conceals and stabilises the skin tag on the skin surface.  
         [0518]      FIG. 182  is a perspective view showing a band-shaped, more or less elastic and flexible section  3   ah  with an adhesive underside covered by protective films  31   ah  and  32   ah  which is divided by slit line  321   ah.    
         [0519]     The other part of the device is shown in  FIG. 183  and is made up of a primarily round, more or less flexible and elastic disc-shaped section  1   ah  with a centrally located aperture  11   ah , and an adhesive underside which is covered by protective films  41   ah  and  43   ah  which are divided by slit line  431   ah  which facilitates the removal of the protective film. At the other side of the aperture  11   ah , there is a weak adhesive tape, holding a mono- or polyfilament thread which has an area with a high friction coefficient, and where the free ends of the thread  13   ah  and  14   ah  are arranged around the aperture,  11   ah.    
         [0520]     In  FIG. 184  protective films  41   ah  and  43   ah  are removed and section  1   ah , with the centrally fixed thread by tape  12   ah  and its free ends  14   ah  and  15   ah  are stuck to the skin  20   h  in such a manner that the skin tag  21   ah  ends up in aperture  11   ah.    
         [0521]      FIG. 185  shows how both ends  13   ah  and  14   ah  of thread fixed by the tape have been twisted around each other and wound around the base of the skin tag  21   ah  such that a knot or tie  15   ah  is formed.  
         [0522]      FIG. 186  is a continuation of  FIG. 185  where both ends  13   ah  and  14   ah  of the thread are pulled in the direction of the arrows, such that the knot or tie  15   ah  is pulled so hard that the weak, adhesive tape  12  no longer can hold the thread which together with the knot or tie occludes the base of the skin tag  21   ah . The protective films  31   ah  and  32   ah  are then removed and section  3   ah  is stuck to the skin, concealing and fixing the occluded skin tag  21   ah  to the skin surface  20   ah.    
       Example 33  
       [0523]     A variant of Example 32, where the device consists of two more or less hard and flexible circular sections  1   ai  and  3   ai  where the skin tag has been occluded by a more or less hard counterbalance.  
         [0524]      FIG. 187  shows section  3   ai  in the form of a low cylinder  3   ai  which is open at one end with a circular edge turned out into a groove  31   ai.    
         [0525]     The other section of the device according to the invention is shown in  FIG. 188  and is made up of a thin, circular, more or less hard and flexible disc  1   ai  with an adhesive underside covered by protective films  41   ai  and  43   ai  divided by the removal slit line  431   ai , and a centrally located aperture  11   ai  and an inwardly directed groove  13   ai  running around the circular edge locking it to groove  31   ai , as described in  FIG. 187 . At the edge of the aperture  11   ai , there is a more or less firm cylinder  12   ai  located on a double-sided adhesive ring  17   ai  extending around a thin, round aperture  11   ai  on the underside of section  1   ai . On either side of the cylinder  12   ai , there is a thin, mono- or multifilament thread draped around aperture  11   ai  with ends  14   ai  and  15   ai  fixed to the slightly adhesive top side of the disc-shaped section  1   ai.    
         [0526]      FIG. 189  shows how protective films  41   ai  and  43   ai  have been removed, after which aperture  11   ai  with cylinder  12   ai  has been pulled as closely as possible over the skin tag  21   ai  and section has been stuck to the skin  20   ai.    
         [0527]     In  FIG. 190 , the both ends  14   ai  and  15   ai  of the thread have been pulled in opposite directions around the cylinder  12   ai  and skin tag  21   ai , the base of which is occluded. The occlusion is completed by a simple knot  16   ai , after which the remaining thread ends  14   ai  and  15   ai  are stuck on the slightly adhesive top side of section  1   ai.    
         [0528]      FIG. 191  shows how section  3   ai  is pushed against section  1   ai  located on the skin  20   ai  such that the edges  13   ai  and  31   ai  snap together and lock sections  1   ai  and  3   ai  together concealing and fixing the occluded skin tag  21   ai  to the skin surface  20   ai.    
       Example 34  
       [0529]     This is another variant of Example 32 where the occlusion of skin tag  21   aj  is achieved by winding one or several threads around the base, where each thread is fixed to the small, upright, hard pins with a more or less adhesive surface.  
         [0530]      FIG. 192  shows as  FIG. 187 a  low cylinder-shaped lid  3   aj  with an outwardly directed groove  31   aj  around the free edge.  
         [0531]     The other section of the device, according to the invention is shown in  FIG. 193 , where the more or less hard and flexible, disc-shaped section  1   aj  has an adhesive underside covered by protective films  41   aj  and  43   aj , a slit line  431   aj , a central aperture  11   aj , and a reinforced ring  12   aj  extending around the periphery, on which the reversed cone-shaped small pins  17   aj  and  19   aj  and the cylinder-shaped pins  16   aj  and  18   aj  are located, all of which have an adhesive surface. The outer peripheral edge is formed by a circular, inwardly directed groove  13   aj . A mono- or multifilament thread is fixed to pin  16   aj , said thread being placed as a tangle behind pin  17   aj  which is then pulled behind  18   aj , where the flap  15   aj  is centrally placed for easy handling.  
         [0532]     In  FIG. 194 , protective films  41   aj  and  43   aj  have been removed and section  1   aj  has been stuck to the skin  20   aj  such that skin tag  21   aj  sticks up through aperture  11   aj.    
         [0533]      FIG. 195  shows how the base of the skin tag  21   aj  is occluded by pulling the thread from  16   aj  once around the base of the skin tag  21   aj  to  17   aj  and back to the skin tag  21   aj  and once around the base and then to  18   aj , and then back again and once around the base of the skin tag  21   aj , and then to  19   aj , and then once again around the skin tag  21   aj ; finally making a U-turn around  16   aj , and winding it one last time around skin tag  21   aj  before passing  18   aj  and placing the flap on the disc  1   aj.    
         [0534]     As described in  FIG. 196 , section  3   aj  is then pushed towards section  1   aj  until grooves  13   aj  and  31   aj  lock into each other fixing and protecting the occluded skin tag  21   aj  on the skin surface  20   aj.    
       Example 35  
       [0535]     This Example is a third variant of Example 32 where the occlusion is achieved by preparing knots or ties which in a simple manner can be tightened at the base of the skin tag.  
         [0536]      FIG. 197  is an overview of a band-shaped, more or less elastic and flexible device according to the invention, consisting of a central section  1   aq  with an adhesive underside covered by protective film  41   aq  and a more or less adhesive upper side and a centrally located aperture,  11   aq . On each side of section  1   aq  are two similar free-standing sections  3   aq  and  5   aq  each with an adhesive upper side covered by protective films  43   aq  and  45   aq , each with removal flaps  431   aq  and  451   aq . The free-standing section  3   aq  is connected with section  1   aq , while thread  12   aq , stuck under protective film  43   aq  in section  3   aq , on the slightly adhesive surface of section  1   aq  extends to thread  13   aq  from section  5   aq  in knot  1  or tie  4   aq . The thread  12   aq  runs around knot  14   aq  into a strap on the other side of the aperture  11   aq  across section  1   aq  to knot  17   aq  and back to section  3   aq , as thread  16   aq , which through strap  126   aq  unites with thread  12   aq  in a closed loop. In the same way, threads  13   aq ,  135   aq  and  15   aq  are created, which are stuck to section  5   aq  under protective film  45   aq  together with knots  14   aq  and  17   aq  and the strap on the other side of the aperture  11   aq  on the slightly adhesive surface of section  1   aq , similar to a closed loop. Along the sides section  1   aq  facing sections  3   aq  and  5   aq  are two narrow reinforcing bands  18   aq  and  19   aq , each of which has two non-adhesive channels  181   aq  and  182   aq , or  191   aq  and  192   aq  respectively, in order to ensure that the two loops tied into each other do not get entangled during storage or later usage.  
         [0537]      FIG. 198  is a longitudinal section of  FIG. 197  along the line CllC-CllC and shows the central section  1   aq  with aperture  11   aq  and reinforcing bands  18   aq  and  19   aq , and the adhesive underside with protective film  41   aq .
