I have a skin tag on my forearm which has got increasingly baggy over the last couple of years. It's been cleared as anything sinister, but I'm a bit self conscious about it and sometimes catch it, which is uncomfortable. Anyhoo, the locum GP noticed it this week and said that another GP in the practice is a specialist and can remove it....or, that some people tie cotton round it and it just drops off, leaves less of a scar apparently.
So, how do I do that? Anyone got any experience of it? Do I just get DH to tightly wrap a bit of common or garden round it? How long until the bugger drops off? Is the locum GP nuts?
