I had a large skin tag on my neck frozen yesterday at the GP, with liquid nitrogen.

He said something about it tingling a bit and maybe getting a blister. It's been weeping a bit but today it is also starting to smell. Eurrrrrrgh.

Is this normal or do I have an infection?

Does sound like an infection to me...I'd ask the surgery's advice tomorrow. You could always try washing it with warm salt water in the meantime: that's a natural antiseptic and will help to clean it.

I think it's an infection too. My Gran has had loads of moles removed (she's like a currant bun, got absolutely loads of them) and has had a fair few infected which have smelt Sad

Thanks both. I will bung some germoline on it and call GP tomorrow if it is still manky Grin
