I found I have them on my neck! I guess it's frm the pcos end I hate them!!

I hated mine, too. I had the dermatologist zap them off.

I have a whole bunch tiny ones on my neck

[music junkie]

I had almost all small ones, too. But I had one that was getting big on the back of my neck, & I caught it a couple of times with my necklace. That's when I decided to go to the dermatologist.

It's embarrassing!!

[music junkie]

It was making me very self-conscious, so I had to go have them removed.

I have read you can tie a piece of dental floss around the base of it (tightly) and it will die on its own and fall off. Since they are on your neck you may need someone to help you. Personally, I would do it as soon as I got home friday evening so it would have time to die/fall off/heal before mon morn.

I had a bunch of tiny ones on my neck a few years ago. I know this sounds painful, but I cut mine off with nail clippers. It was a little pinch, but not bad. I read it in the Internet. I wouldn't recommend doing on any that are too big as they may bleed. All I can say is they have never come back and no scarring.

I don't know if I have the courage to do that lol. But maybe if I get a bit crazy I might try it.

They are just common, I have snipped a few I had in the past, wasn't a big deal to be honest, Unless of course that are of a decent size.

No they're new to me is all

I bought a stiptic pencil at Walgreens. I think it cost a dollar. It stops bleeding and lasts forever.

I soak a pair of cuticle scissors in alcohol for a few minutes. Wipe the skin tag with alcohol. Rub it with the moistened stiptic pencil and snip off the skin tag quickly. Then I rub it with the stiptic pencil again. Then a put one of those little round band-aids on the spot for about 24 hours.

I paid a fortune to the dermatologist to remove those things and new ones kept arriving. Now I get rid of them for free as soon as they're big enough to snip. I currently have none and no scars and I like my smooth neck.

I do recommend the stiptic pencil. The first time I did it without one and it seeped blood for two days. Ugh. Cuticle scissors are better than nail clippers because they're thinner bladed and you can see what you're doing in the mirror. It hurts pretty bad if you accidentally cut healthy skin because you can't see around the nail clipper to see what you're doing. If you cut just the tag, it's a quick pinch and that's all.

If you don't want to take up surgery, you can coat the tag in clear nail polish. It's supposed to fall off in a week or two if you keep it coated. Don't ask me how that works, but I read about it in a newspaper doctor column.
