loads and loads of tiny flat brown skin tags on abdomen/under bra area how to get rid?

Hi everyone,

Just as the title says, I have loads of tiny brown flat skin tags all over my abdomen area and under my bra. As they are so small and flat, things like tying the base to cut off circulation etc doesn't work as there is no base to speak of.

It seems as though they are all spreading as last time I checked carefully there didn't seem as many! There are about 50 plus in total.

I have tried applying tea tree oil to the whole area twice a day but it hasn't made the slightest bit of difference.

Did anyone manage to successfully get rid of these? If so how?

And I was thinking whether or not a bralette type bra may rub less than a typical bra?

I cut mine off with new nail scissors. Didn't hurt beyond first pinch and they have never grown back.

I wonder if its seborrhoeic keratosis. Ive seen them on tv programmes getting scraped off.

I have exactly the same OP. Watching with interest. Mine are too small to cut off, but still unsightly.

Interested in this thread?

Not to worry you too much but this can be a sign of insulin resistance.

Skin tags can be, but it is more than likely just the area. The under breast area is very common for this type of thing due to the rubbing of skin against skin. No solution OP, but I have loads too and can relate.

I get mine sorted by electrolysis.

I have loads of these and they are much worse now I'm older, I did wonder if it was my wired bras, I definitely noticed them increasing lately, I'm mid 60s

Seborrheic keratosis. You can freeze them off with a wart treatment.

@Itsybitsytitsy I wondered about this but there's nothing to cut off if you see what I mean as they are annoyingly so small and flat.

Don't know is this is helpful, but I got these on my neck when pregnant (both times). First time they fell off immediately postpartum - second time I scratched them off postpartum and they didn't return
