Mind did :)

baublesandbaileys · 02/12/2012 00:31

did what? go? fall off all over the place? or just merge back into your body? Confused

I have loads, on my neck, between my boobs, on my tummy Blush

If they don't go, they're easy to deal with yourself. Just tie a piece of cotton around them as close to your normal skin as you can and as tight as you can. This will painlessly cut off the blood supply and they then shrivel, turn black and fall off. I've done this successfully myself a couple of times.

I don't have any.

A small, strange part of me wants one so I can tie some cotton on it and watch it turn black and fall off. Smile

Trust me, you don't. It looks really grim. Painless, but grim. I had to stick a plaster over it so I didn't have to look at it. :o

I have always had at least one, you can either leave it alone and your body will re absorb it, or tie it off but risk infection or a scar. I developed one on my nipple, hoping its gone before teeth come through!

They just merged back into my body!

I have lots of quite tiny ones, cotton not so much an issue, they're in horrible itchy clusters, mostly in areas where clothes rub like around neck

(would need to be very nimble to tie anything round them they're all very small)

I have loads and loads of tiny ones too - like slightly raised freckles mainly around where my bra rubs. Didn't get any with my first pregnancy! I am hoping they merge back in too.

V odd.

I have a big one on the top of my thigh. DD is now 5. It didnt get reabsorbed :(
