to be annoyed that DH won't perform minor surgery on me?

[5inthebed]

I have a skin tag on my shoulder, which I can't see, so want DH to chop it off with a pair of nail clippers. He is refusing!

It is very loose, and needs removed!

[louloudia]

just pull it

[smartyparts]

ewwww! i'm not surprised!

get him to tie cotton or a hair round it

[Morebounceperounce]

Where are you? Am preparing the car and my home minor surgery kit!

Bribe with sexual favours would be my only other suggestion.

[SmethwickBelle]

Those tags are loaded with blood vessels, it could bleed and bleed and bleed. Probably best not to.

I got DH to twat my ganglion with Peter Mandelson's autobiography and it disappeared so I am not averse to home surgery in general.

[ShowOfHands]

He sounds like my sil. Wouldn't stitch db's arm up with fishing wire so I had to go round and do it.

[5inthebed]

Damn it Morebounce, you live too far!

I normally remove them myself, have antiseptic wipes and a Mr Bump sticky plaster ready and everything :(

[JarethTheGoblinKing]

Dear god... YABU!

Do what smartypants said, it's what they recommend on Embarrasing Bodies

Hahaha love it!! Not laughed so much in ages!

[ethelina]

DH just put a plaster over the skintag on his shoulder, squashing it over and flat to the skin. It shrivelled to nothing over the next few days. n He wasnted me to do the cotton tie thing but I couldnt face it.

[Morebounceperounce]

SoH you're a hardcore home surgeon!

Best of luck 5, maybe limber up with a few stretches and see if you can reach it?

[nolita]

I had the same problem. DP refused to go near it so i did it myself. He cried

[5inthebed]

I've managed to do it myself. Took a few attempts, but it is gone.Now have a little miss chatterbox plaster on.

Smeth.

[PunkPixie]

I've had to do some self-surgery before but I never got DH to do it. YANBU to want him to do it but YABU to make him do it. There are just some things people don't wanna do!

Be brave and DIY

[SarahStrattonHasNiceBears]

He is being VU. Nail clippers tend to crush the cut slightly and staunch any bleeding. You are too far away from me or I would come round and do it myself :(

If you can reach it try pinching it off between your fingernails. Or give it a good tug.

[PunkPixie]

Just saw your LP - Cute plaster :o

[Saggyoldclothcatpuss]

Smethwick that should totally be 'quote of the week'!!

[Saggyoldclothcatpuss]

I cut a big warty thing from the tip of the dogs tail. It bled like fuck! I have the waggiest dog in the world! My house looked like the abbatior in Texas Chainsaw Massacre!!!

[Bearcat]

Saggy, that made me laugh. Hope the dog is OK
I used to treat my old cats cat fight absesses by squeezing , bathing and pulling the surrounding hairs out. Very satisfying and he was so patient. Present cat would have my arm off, but fortunately doesn't do fighting with neighbourhood cats!

[ZacknJakesMuma]

Smethwick :o Classic

[Underachieving]

Dp (then an appliance engineer) sewed his own arm up once, with sewing cotton. On taking the infected mess to the Dr some time later the Dr remarked. "If you're going to do that then I'm going to learn to mend my own washing machine". He didn't do it again.

[iscream]

Dh has some, but I can't bear the thought of cutting them off. Or even tie a string around it. The thought makes my entire body shudder. However, I have pinched off some little ones that I got on my eye lids. It seems different doing it to myself.
