Skin tags!!!

recebtly have noticed a skin tag down there and it freaked me out, I made an appt at the dermatologist to get it removed. Has anyone has them removed while pregnant??

    They are common in pregnancy. I got a couple of them when I was pregnant with my first child. There is a product called tag away that smells like eucalyptus that will take them away if you are really unhappy about it. You put it on 3 times a day for a couple weeks and it will naturally remove itself.

  • I would try what pp said...I had one removed at the dr and since I'm pregnant they said they couldn't give me pain meds and OMG it hurt!!! I had this tag all my life, but had to get it removed since it was hitting right where my new bras were rubbing (since my boobs ballooned lol!)
  • You can also wrap a string around the base of the skin tag to cut off the blood supply. I think it falls off on its own after a few days (depends on how thick it is).
  • I am so glad someone else posted this. I have one on the inside of my arm...opposite of my elbow and i think it's so embarrassing! I always make them draw blood out of the other arm haha. I'm going to try the tag away! I heard you could use apple cider vinegar to remove them too but I have my doubts.

    I've always had one in my Arm pit. I had it removed once but it came back. Now that I'm pregnant I've noticed one on my inner thigh and one on my areola! Talk about an embarrassing place lol
