Skin tags and pregnancy?

Sorry for the gross question, have name changed just for this lol.
Since early pregnancy I have had (what I think) is a skin tag. Inbetween my vagina and bum 🤦🏻‍♀️. Is this something I need looked at or will it go away on it's own? It doesnt irritate me or cause any discomfort, it's just there. It also hasn't gotten any larger or anything. I'm nearing my third trimester if that's relevant.

Oh the joys!

I’ve noticed a few tiny tags appear on my neck recently so maybe it is a pregnancy symptom, though don’t think I had it previously in first pregnancy.

Maybe just ask MW next time you see her? If it’s not bothering you I would see what happens after baby is here x

I had one on my upper thigh, got really uncomfortable. I soaked a cotton wool pad in apple cider vinegar twice a day and pressed it down on it for 15 minutes- five days on it fell off.

Not much help in that region, but I have a lot on my neck - started in pregnancy with my son and I knew we'd be hoping to have more children so didn't do anything about them, now pregnant with #2 and intend getting them lasered once baby is born.

Mine haven't gone away and don't think they do without intervention - might be a problem (or at least more uncomfortable in labour?)

They are so annoying, particularly when they catch on clothes!

As PP said, I would maybe ask midwife to take a look next time you have an appointment
