Thanks, but I'll need it tomorrow. But Spehro's hint with the stuff in
the drug store should pan out, we have a CVS and a RiteAid in town.

But my client said that it lets off some evil gunk. Get it on the finger
and any finger food will taste horrible even if you wash.

It's OK for skin tags, which are "pre-cancerous". Larkin, as usual,
exaggerates. A Squamish Cell Skin Cancer should not be screwed with.
It needs to be carefully _excised_.

My skin person has an instrument with a cold TIP that she touches skin
tags with... stings for a day, then only a temporary shiny spot on the
skin.

I improvised using "Power Duster" and have been using it ever since.
