skin tags

[NigellaTheOriginal]

can't be arsed to go to the drs.
would freezing it with an ice cube then snipping it off with scissors be a bad idea?

just do the tying with a piece of cotton trick - works very effectively

It would be a very bad idea as it would bleed and bleed and bleed and bleed and.......

Are they big and where abouts are they?

No not at all may bleed a bit though so have some gauze or something handy!

Depends on their size as to how much they will bleed.

it's under my boob and catches on my underwire. i can't grasp it enough to do the tying thing

dh has one on his cheek which is really putting me off!
How do you do the cotton thing?

I've done that with the very tiny ones - hardly bled at all. Keep everything spotless!

tie a piece of cotton very firmly at the bottom of the tag and it will wither and shrivel up in a few days - may look a bit odd on dh's face though !

You tie the string (sewing cotton) around as tightly as you can and tie it. It cuts off any blood supply and it drops off. May take a few days though.

Nigella, I'd ask the practice nurse to sort it out.

burn them

he will never go to the drs so I'll give that a go... Thanks

can't ask dr or nursey to do it because thatwould mean baring my body and that is not going to happen.
burn them with waht?

i had some burnt.. by a doctor i hasten to add. proper word is cauterisation
i wouldnt do it myself though sorry

think i will wait untili have had a few then get out the scissors. will let you know if i bleed to death

yes, please do

why won't you show it to the dr Nigella?
