Skin tags

[Ladypug]

I have developed loads of mini skin tags, especially on my neck where they seem to be multiplying! I'm late pregnancy - is this normal?

No idea but I have one now on my neck - it is really annoying me.

I've got lots underneath my boobs is it normal ?

I have no idea! They seem to have come from nowhere!

I believe it's common in pregnancy. DH gets them and I just tie a piece of dental floss around them tightly, they fall off in a couple of days.

I've got lots of little ones on my neck! Also - a tiny one seems to have appeared on my eyelid! Eek! Hoping they go away after the baby is born

VimFuego101 has the right idea; tie dental floss or string tightly around them and they should fall right off, painlessly.

I only learnt this after having them cauterized off as a child (I had them in my armpit).

My grandmother has them and I'm getting one. She ties string round them and waits for them to drop off so I'm going to do the same.

I can't get to these with string as they are so small and I literally have about 50 of them!

How long do you leave the dental floss on for? ( not sure I could go to work with it attached to my neck)

I haven't had them in this pregnancy but got loads on my neck last time. They all seemed to fall off/disappear again a few weeks after birth.

OP I had this with my last pregnancy. After the baby was born they dried up and fell off. It was very strange.

Tea tree oil if you aren't pregnant (read the instructions, its horrible stuff), cider vinegar if you are. Bathe skin tags three times daily. It works on some of them.

I think it's a normal pregnancy thing, I've got 2 or 3 in my armpits and a load up one side of my neck. The ones on my neck are really tiny and I keep picking/scratching at them because I forget that's what they are and they feel like little spots. Some of them do seem to die off and come away, I'm hoping they go after birth!
