skin tags

going to have some removed on friday so hopefully that will be that

I have found that many things start growing on the body as we get older..

both annoying skin tags been removed a couple of dissolvable stitches put in and will be left with the tinest scars
thank god they gone

Ugh I hate the little skin tags. I have some. I see a dermatologist each year for a skin check (to make sure no moles on my body look cancerous). The dermatologist can take skin tags off while you're there in the office. I think I remember her saying that the removal of up to fifteen skin tags at once would be covered under one fee. So I'd suggest just seeing the dermatologist each year (the skin check is always a good idea!) -- if any are bothering you have them removed during the visit.

I hate getting older.

You can tie abit of cotton or fish wire around the skin tag and it will drop off after a few days!!! Simple!!! And it works.

Hmmm, I am thinking about doing that with mine because I have one on my lower left stomach that is the size of the pad on your pinky finger. It is really gross and I hate it. They won't take it off unless it is impeding on your life....that is dumb!

A cosmetic surgeon would I think, but insurance wouldn't pay for it. Sometimes a dermatologist will too, right in the office during an office visit. Numb, remove, bandaid... although again insurance won't cover it unless it's inflamed, bleeding etc. Also some dermatologists know how to bill these things to get them paid...

mine had a couple of stiches but it didnt take long
i still have several under my arms and under my bra line

I have fewer now that I'm losing weight. My neck doesn't look quite so bad.

I have them. Mine are due to PCOS. My ob/gyn said they won't go away unless they are removed. But as long as I take my metformin I shouldn't get any new ones.
