It;'s courtesy of DS2, who is now nearly 2.

It;s been growing silently since that pregnancy, the fucker is HUGE now.

It;'s on my side. Big and fleshy and flappy.

I catch it on my clothes and it stops me showing off my otherwise amazeballs bikini bod in public, donchaknow.

Shall I fuck it off with the nail clippers?

If youse dare me I will do it.

You'd risk possible heavy bleeding and infection because some faceless internet people dared you to?

No, just make an appointment with you GP who will either do it for you or refer you to someone who will.

I cut mine and it was on my groin! I did it with nail scissors after a long hot soak in the bath, just do it and hold a savlon wipe to it after.

Noooo, tie it very tightly with a piece of cotton until it shrivels and drops off! That is the correct, safe and painless way to do it ! xxxx

No, because you will bleed to death.

i did one in the crease of my elbow with nail clippers.. It was very small but it did bleed. I also tied one off with dental floss-it went purple and fell off.

Dragons, did it bleed like a motherfucker? That's the only bit that worries me. If it stars vomming blood I may freak. If it's just a mini volcano then gravy.

I was a self harm pro in my twenties so this should be a doddle.

I tied cotton around one and it went black and fell off. If you cut it I think it might bleed a lot.

I absentmindedly picked at one of mine on my neck the other day, next thing I knew it had come off and was bleeding a fair bit. I put tcp and savlon on it, held a tissue up against it until th ebleeding had stopped (didn't take long). Now, a few days later, you can't see that it was ever there. I've got loads of the bloody things (since pregnancy), I'm going to snip them all off with nail clippers when I'm feeling brave!

You need to use dental floss of fine fishing line type thread. Tie it round VERY tightly. It will puff up, shrivel, go black and drop off. DO NOT cut it.

I have just treated a friend's mahoosive one on his neck. I tied one of my hairs around it, very tightly.

He was panicking by day 3 as it was red and angry, but it fell off on day 4.

Snipping off sounds painful!
