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.

Mini moles sound so cute though.

Sparklingbrook · 21/09/2013 22:58

Undercover Mini-moles? Shock Skin Tags in disguise.

mrstigs · 21/09/2013 22:58

Surely it would just clot and scab like any other cut, so you wouldn't actually bleed to death. But I'd tie it off personally, less painful and I'd quite enjoy watching it die off. Smile

LeGavrOrf · 21/09/2013 22:58

What would happen to the roots?

Will they be vengeful and multiply and create a load more skin tags?

That sounds rather frightening.

They have roots?! WTAF???? I really might be sick

Fenton · 21/09/2013 22:59

Like pulling the grey hair out...

LeGavrOrf · 21/09/2013 22:59

How the hell can you tie knots with a piece of string around a tiny skin tag and actually get it to knot?

You kind of people were obviously the types who listened to the ladies ate chill teaching you cross stitch.

Fenton · 21/09/2013 22:59

But more bloody

Sparklingbrook · 21/09/2013 23:00

Mini moles with roots that cause you to bleed to death if snipped. Who knew?

reelingintheyears · 21/09/2013 23:00

If you don't get rid of them do the roots tangle up inside your body and strangle you from the inside.?

PrincessFlirtyPants · 21/09/2013 23:00

When you cut off one, 7 more grow back in their place.

ThisIsBULLSHIT · 21/09/2013 23:00

I tied one off the other day! No pain, well a teeny bit and I yanked it off when I had to go to work and it hadn't fallen off yet... I have also had one removed by the doctor.

Tying it off was much easier tbh. Don't clip it!!!!!!!

aufaniae · 21/09/2013 23:00

Don't bother.

I cut my skin tag off. The fucker grew back. It was on my face too so really obvious.

I mentioned it to the Dr, and he caurterised it (sp?) then and there. Sorted! Had a scab on my face for a while though. I would not suggest doing this at home!

Fenton · 21/09/2013 23:02

You cut a tag off your FACE?

Sparklingbrook · 21/09/2013 23:02

Oh my word there's a kit!

LeGavrOrf · 21/09/2013 23:02

I had an operation a few years ago, keyhole surgery through my belly button, it didn't heal at all well and grew like a motherfucker (I can't remember the medical term but that just about covers it) and they burned it all away with silver nitrate sticks. It SIZZLED. Marvellous.

WorldPeaceAndFreeProsecco · 21/09/2013 23:03

FACE?

Hard the fuck core.

WorldPeaceAndFreeProsecco · 21/09/2013 23:03

Arf at parsnips.

I'm not walking about with a flossed up nipple. I had the clippers to hand and got a bit gung-ho. DH nearly fainted whilst watching but was secretly impressed with my skills.

reelingintheyears · 21/09/2013 23:04

I would have to be unconscious to have keyhole surgery through my belly button.

I would punch anyone who touches it, ANYONE.

AAAAArrrrggghh Angry

WorldPeaceAndFreeProsecco · 21/09/2013 23:05

I am v much looking forawrd to these silver nitrate sticks.

Is it like crack?

Gav - that would be keloid - over active scar tissue.
