Skin tags

Has anyone else suffered from skin tags after giving birth? I have them on my cleavage, under arms etc they are horrible!

Has anyone tried the tying with string method of removal? otherwise I assume I have to go to the doc and be vain and ask to have them removed by liquid nitrogen Hmm

i have had them after all 3 kids. most recent one fell off (skin tag, not baby) in the shower the other day, just another charming aspect of pregnancy and birth!

  1. tying floss really really hurts and doesn't work.
  1. DO NOT try to freeze them off yourself with varucca remover it also doesn't work and you will get infected, need to confess to a doctor and have to take antibiotics.

Just go to the GP. so much easier in he long run - but tell them your bra is rubbing not vanity or they won't do anything about them.

Yes I did too! So weird. I'd forgotten but I got loads- around boobs and arm pits. I think they have gone now. Why on earth would pregnancy cause skin tags. Same reason you get more moles I suppose.

Atyourcervix, I've tried diy cosmetic surgery. I had a clear mole I decided cotton on a string would sort out. It went crusty but didn't fall off

Hmmm - seems I need to go to the docs then, will say the bra is rubbing on them, thanks for the info
