[Mamazon]

i seem to have grown about 5 recently. all on my inner thigh near my fanjo.

they dont cause any problems just just annoy me cos i know they are there.

are they caused by anything particular do you think? and how do you get rid of them? or should i not bother

[Mammina]

are you pregnant? no idea why but a lot of people get them in pregnancy

My brother had one when he was little, on his neck. A bit of black string was tied round it for a while and it fell off.

if they have a "stalk" then they are easily dealt with by the string method! If they don't have a stalk, you can get them frozen off at your GPs, only takes a minute...

I have loads of the feckers. Get them on my neck and two have recently fallen off- with a bit of assistance.

I have about 5 under each boob, whats that all about? I didn't realise that there was a link with pregnancy. I am pregnant but have always had them anyway.

My mum and my nan have them too. Is it something that certain people are pre-disposed to I wonder? I am fair with lots of freckles.

[Mamazon]

no im not pregnant. or at least i dont think i am

does freezing hurt. i dont like pain much

[rupertsabear]

I just pull mine off myself before they get too big. DH had one chopped off by a derm the other day (didn't hurt much, he said, and he's a chicken about pain).

I quite liked the sensation of freezing, Mamazon but then I like waxing too! [grin}
