Skin tags on people have a blood connection to them, i would think it would be the same for animals, if indeed it was a skin tag. As long as a vet has seen your dog and pronounced any tags or lumps to be non cancerous, you should have nothing to worry about. As with any wound, applying pressure to make the bleeding stop is what should be done. If this is not a mere crumb sized skin tag but an actual larger piece of skin ripped from the body, I am no vet or Dr and neither are you, for all I know, the wound may be large enough to require a couple stitches and it would be best to have a professional look to make sure no other foreign objects, dirt, etc...got into the wound. It is probably for the best to take the dog to the vet.
