Yes, sentinel skin tags (also called sentinel piles) can be removed without surgery using methods like cryotherapy, burning, or freezing, or by tying a piece of dental floss or fine cotton around the base of the skin tag. The recovery time for non-surgical removal is usually a few weeks, with the tag dropping off after freezing or burning.
