An off the wall question, can you help??
| Sat, 03-26-2005 - 4:02pm |
Okay, I dont know if any of you have one of these but, I have a skin tag!!
I hate it, Do you know how to take it off??
If you can help I would like this off NOW!!!

I try to ignore them. My sister has cut them off herself with sharp scissors. Ew. They bleed a lot. If it really bugs you, see a dermatologist...
My SIL told me once that she would take dental floss and wrap it around the skin tag and pull tight.
Janessa Mom to 4 girls Samantha (10.7), Jordan, Regan<
My Aunt told me to use dental floss too.
Well, I tried it and I couldnt pull it, I was scared (I know, Im a big baby) I can go through child birth, but I cant pull off a little peace of skin. WHAAAAA
So, I left it on there and I pull it tighter each day, I hoping it will just die off b/c it has no blood flow. I will keep you all posted if it works.
I just cant stand mine. It drives me crazy. It isnt noticable b/c it is on my hip. But I see it everyday...
Thanks for all your advice...

Cyndi,
Let us know if and when it falls off ... I'm interested to see what happens! I had a big red one on my neck when I was pg, and like a dummy I decided to mess with it right before DH and I were going on a "date." It bled and bled like crazy. It sort of pulsed; blood would squirt out, then stop, then squirt again, right in time with my heartbeat. I couldn't believe that so small an object could bleed so much. When I mentioned to my OB at my next appt. that I wanted him to look at this place on my neck, his first words were, "Yeah, don't mess with that." Oh well. My DH was laughing his butt off since he had said "I told you so" all along.
