I had one under my left boob for ages, but after I had dd it started to catch on my bra and bleed. I had that removed with liquid nitrogen and it didn't hurt. It was a little sore after but nothing major.

Yes, had 2 moles removed a few years ago. Didn't hurt atall. One has grown back again though

Doesn't hurt at all. At worst a bit of a sting when the mole has frozen through. I have one on my top lip and have had it done several times now. Also had some done on my back and arm - no problem at all.

Sometimes they do blister a bit. Make sure you don't pop them - as with any burn, it will make them scar.

I only ever had one little skin tag and I removed it myself by tying cotton round it Shock worked a treat though! Grin
