I went to my doctor today and showed him a very large skin tag I had on my stomach. I told him that it really bothers me.
He asked if it bleeds or hurts and I told him no, that it only hurts when clothes snag on it and I am just really self-conscious about it. He said he would put in my file that it bleeds so that they would approve it because otherwise they would deny it because it would be considered cosmetic. He told me it would take him 2 minutes to take it off and did I want him to do it now. I said, "Heck yeah!" I had another doctor before this one that just told me not to worry about it and leave it alone. My new doctor said that he can't believe my old doctor blew me off like that. He was actually sort of upset at that. Anyways, he numbed it up and it took just a couple of minutes and it was gone!! I AM SO HAPPY THAT DANG THING IS GONE!!! THANK YOU DR. K!!!

I'm glad you got it taken care of :-) I have a zillion on my neck and trunk but my dermatologist many years ago explained they can just come back (or additional grow, etc.) and I don't like having my neck touched, can't imagine having someone burning stuff off it, LOL! That or another doctor said it's somehow related to weight gain and/or genetics and I had both (lots of moles from my mother) and as I'm losing weight I notice my neck is getting clearer of the tags it seems.
