So frustrating/embarrassing!

Does anyone else have skin tags? I have them on my inner thigh, more towards my pelvic area. I know TMI. but how annoying, I'm not the only one riight? Never had any before I was pregnant.. No one told me about that this would happen. I hate themmm!

I have them in my belly button, its so odd. I THINK I heard they go away after pregnancy? Don't quote me though.

That would be amazing if they did, they are so annoying. UGH.

Yes! I have some on my inner thighs towards my pelvic area and may even have one or two right around my pelvic area! I hate them, they are quite annoying! From what I understand they have to be cut off to have them removed. My husband had quite a few and he had to go to the dermatologist and have them removed.

Just one small one on MY AREOLA! Nice placement, don't ya think?

THey do not go away on their own...a derm will have to remove them

So yesterday I discovered the teeniest, tiniest two little skin tags in my armpit... and I promptly ripped them off without giving it a 2nd thought.

Gross, right? Seriously, they were smaller than a tiny pimple and it didn't hurt or bleed. I couldn't handle the thought of them getting any bigger so I just went for it.

Yes, I heard about a derm having to remove them. Then I read about these people who use clippers, I can't seem to make myself do that. GROSS. Also I have reserached some ointments that you can put on them to dry them out and they fall off. But if that really works is beyond me..

I had one under my right boob that I pulled right the F off. It didn't bleed very much and hasn't come back.

I also have one on my NOSE. I've tried to pull it off a few times and it bleeds and comes back. Right now it's at least smaller than it was due to a good pull-off last week.

I've heard you can tie dental floss around it tightly and in a few days, it will fall off on it's own.

I will have to go to my derm after this baby anyway because some of my moles (especially ones below the waist) have gotten HUGEEEEE with the increased blood flow and need to be removed.

I know that a lot of pharmacies sell an over-the-counter skin tag removal kit; I'm guessing it's similar to the way an over-the-counter wart removal kit works (I know - ewww). I think I'd be too scared to try to lop it off myself with clippers/scissors!

I had one under my arm and one close to my armpit on my arm. I pulled both of them suckers off and they haven't come back. You can also tie a piece of floss around them and they will fall off themselves. I dont know how the logistics would work on your inner thigh though. Maybe you can still reach?

I am glad that I'm not the only Grossologist who ripped theirs off. ;-)

I keep getting them on my eyelids! I thought they were caused by skin rubbing against skin... does that mean my eyelids are getting fat?! I cut one off with nail clippers the other day because it was driving me crazy and put a little neosporin on it. It healed right up. I guess I'll have to have the doc remove the others - they are too close to my eyes. Blah. Weirdest pregnancy symptom so far...
