I have LOADS of skin tags everywhere, all over my neck and even my boobs! Never read about this anywhere is it just me? I had this last time with DS and they disappeared once he arrived. Bizarre!

I had some prior to DC, but after 3 I now have loads. They do decrease after birth, but can occur wherever there is friction so underarms and around bra lines.

NOT SAFE IF PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING!

Have you tried tee tree cream? if they last after LO arrives that is
I have loads of tags on my neck big ones small ones etc and a few in the groin/bra strap area and have used it to get rid of them for years
I haven't used it since i got pregnant as i have been warned by my midwife that it is not safe nor is is safe for breastfeeding mums but as soon as i am neither pregnant or breastfeeding i intend to carry on using it

The one i use is called Teangi tee tree and witch hazel cream apply it 3 times a day for several days and i found the tags went dark and fell off after a few days to a week depending on size
Hope this helps

I got extra skin tags when pregnant, to add to my pre-pregnancy collection.

The bonus was that towards the end of pregnancy they all fell off :) The pregnancy ones and the pre-pregnancy ones too!

I have grown a few more since, but nowhere near as many as I had before. And now I know how to get rid of them.....
