Skin tags - Do they go away?

[Havingkittens]

I'd read on here of people getting skin tags during pregnancy and I thought I'd got away with it. But now, at 35 weeks, I've just discovered 2-3 of them cropping up under my arms . Am I stuck with these now?

I got them with DC1. Some went, some stayed but have got much smaller and I didn't get anymore with DC2 or 3. Isn't pregnancy weird?!!

Yes, it is! These are quite small, so far, so hopefully they will go away. I was when I saw them. I also have red blobs all over my decolletage from burst blood vessels and double the amount of freckles on my back, shoulders and upper arms.

Nearly all of mine went. Not sure when just realsied they were not there anymore. Same with red marks from burst vessals especially on neck and chest.

I used vitamin e oil from capsules to get rid of them. A little rubbed in everyday.

Sorry but if anything mine have slowly got worse my armpits are gross (yes I know they're only armpits and aren't meant to look stunning but I hate mine!)

I had one once in my groin, i tied some cotton round the base of it really tightly and in a few days it fell off. Brutal I know but it worked!

That is an idea that's crossed my mind Belvedere. They are not really big enough to get a purchase so far but if they do grow my OH is rather squeamish so not sure if I could talk him into doing that for me and it's not really possible to do something like that one handed, which you'd need to do with an armpit.

I don't think there are any in my crotch but it's pretty hard to get a look down there these days. I did take a mirror down there the other day but it was a bit scary!

Whatever you do don't pick them off like I did, it's scarred now :( It was only a few weeks ago, it bled like a bleep, I'm hoping it will fade in time.
