as least that's what they look/feel like to me. I took her to the GP about them about 4 months ago and he told me not to worry at all and that they would fall off. But there are lots of new ones, behind both knees although more on oneside than the other. I cant help but be slightly concerned. Should I be do you think or should I relax like the Go says and wait for them to fall off?

TIA

Do they look like this?. Could be Molluscum - a virus, which takes forever to clear but does go away eventually. Can look very like skin-tags, and my DS3 had it mostly behind the knee.

yes!!! So i should go back to the GP then?

My DS had them on his neck. GP told us to ignore and they would eventually disappear. They did.

thanks both.
just googled them and relaxing now!! 12-18 months and they'll go, best treatment is nothing. i feel bad now for doubting my GP [
