Skin tags!!!!!!HELP!!!!?
tie thread round `em tight so the die and fall off.........
Reply:get them clipped. If you're scared to do them yourself, then go to your doctor and they will do it
Reply:You can have them burnt off or froze off. My husband had one of those done and it only took a short doctor visit.
Reply:I once noticed these out of the blue on my neck, probably like 3 or 4. My dr. snipped them right off and the weird thing is she told me it was thought there might be a correlation between skin tags and high cholesterol(which I have never had a problem with.) anyway I haven't noticed anymore but they are something strange to me as they truly came out of nowhere!
Reply:I have used a tweezers to squeeze them really hard (don't pull) twice a day for three or four days. After that they will dry up and fall off in a week or so. (it hurts the first time or two but after that there is no feeling.) Can't say this is sound medical advice but it works for me . I've remove 10 or more like this with no problems.
Reply:apply oinment or take a long shower (and a clean one)
Reply:i had some around my neck and they just fell off naturally. i saw a women in India with her whole entire body covered in them,, every inch of her body, big and small,, really sad,, but I'm sure yours arnt so bad,,,

Skin tags on neck/ face/armpit...etc of 40+ woman is dangerous? cancer?

Not necessariliy. Your doctor will have to determine if they want to do a biopsy, however. Most of the time, skin tags -- especially around the neck and face and armpits -- are common and nothing more than minor nuisances that can be snipped off with any pair of scissors (I don't advise doing it yourself, though!)





If your doctor has no cause for alarm, then you don't.

Skin tags on neck/ face/armpit...etc of 40+ woman is dangerous? cancer?
I was told by my Dr. that "skin tags" are normal...but if they do start changing in color, size, or look abnormal in anyway, Get them checked out!


Goodluck!
Reply:No they are not dangerous, just annoying. They can be inherited, sort of like herpes simplex. Passed on in the family once it is in your system, some with more notable symptoms.


They are similar to the wart family. In Homeopathy remedies, Thuja is recommended, but when I started using Emu Oil on the front of my throat on surgery scar tissue, I found that the Emu Oil reduced the tags on my neck much better and faster results. As for herpes, cold sores, take Lysine. Cheap and easy. One a day.
Reply:Could be pre-diabetic... If you also have dark skin on the back of you neck, armpits, and/or intter thighs.


Skin Tags..can they be removed ?

Yes they can be removed. My boss and husband have both had them taken off. Don't try to do it yourself. Sometimes the vascularity in the tag is extensive and could cause alot of bleeding.

Skin Tags..can they be removed ?
yes...dermatologist...it doesnt hurt
Reply:they can be moved with simple cuts with a pair of scissor. but i wouldnt suggest doing it at home.
Reply:Yes - I cut one off myself. I wouldn't recommend it at all, it was messy and painful.
Reply:Yes indeed they can.
Reply:Been there, done that. Yes. Easy no problem. Right in your doctor's office.


SKIN TAGS remove?

is there anyway to take them off ur self? i have a couple around my neck and they hurt when i wear a dress shirt

SKIN TAGS remove?
Three ways I have heard of.





1. Yourself - compound w - I did this, it hurt but worked.


2. Dr. Pull and cut.


3. Freeze with liquid nitrogen. There are OTC stuff for this, but best to have DR.
Reply:no, it will hurt too much, you have to have a doctor do it.....it is fast and easy for them to do it.
Reply:Dip nail clippers in rubbing alcohol then cut off.





It may bleed.





Put anti-bacterial cream on after
Reply:i had one underneath my armpit and it was really horrible when i had to shave.... what i did with it was i put ice on it for a few minutes, then i dried it and i clipped it off with a toenail clippers.... but i never had pain from them... so maybe you just want to go and see a doctor...
Reply:pinch with clean trimmed fingernails and yank...clean with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, band-aid for at least half a day so it stops bleeding and seals, then let it air and heal...and that's the careful way...





...me, i just pinch and yank...but mine aren't terribly big...don't do it if yours are...
Reply:It is not sterile or safe to do it yourself. Don't think that dipping something in alcohol makes it sterile. They also bleed a lot. And they are more than skin deep often. You really need to have an annual appointment with your dermatologist to freeze them off.
Reply:I use sharp manicure scissors and snip em off myself all the time. It's all a doctor did the first time I asked to have them removed, so I decided to just do it myself thereafter. Why pay a doctor to do what I can do easily myself. Just be careful to wash well before, then apply antibiotic ointment like neosporin after and maybe a bandage for a few hours until the bleeding stops. Mine never seem to bleed all that much, but that is unique to me and might not be the case for you. Keep gauze handy and snip away.
Reply:My brother tied dental floss around his. It dried up and just fell off.
Reply:You can remove them yourself. It will hurt though. You can numb with ice first and then either use nail clippers like others have said or tie floss or fishing line around the skin tag and then pull hard and fast.





I had mine removed by a dermatoligist and it cost $500.00 to have 8 of them removed. Most of that cost was to pay for the removed skin to be sent to pathology (to be checked for cancer), which I was told was routine.
Reply:ok this works on moles also tie some dental floss around the bottom of it as close to the skin as possible it takes about a day but they fall off.
Reply:I had one on my neck removed by a doctor quick and simple.








FYI: insurances will not pay for it; it is consider a cosmetic procedure. But it's very inexpensive.


Skin tags and moles?

Why do i get them, the older i get the more i seem to get. What gives. I have alot of them removed by my dr. and i need to do it again, it is worse than before

Skin tags and moles?
Skin tags can spread...that is why you have to do it again. Atleast you are getting them removed...some people don't and it is not attractive at all.
Reply:They make these ultrasonic device now that you can stick in your grass that remove moles nicely. Those moles can really wreak havok in your lawn, holes everywhere.
Reply:OMG i have like so many moles it isnt even funny 25 on 1 arm! (about) but with moles u age slower!!
Reply:just apply lemon juice and honey

Skin tags question?

what causes them? I have been getting them everywhere (I mean that) and they're gross! What can I do do to prevent them?

Skin tags question?
I had one and shaved it off by accident (it was on my underarm). Yes, it stung, but only because some idiot (who shall remain nameless) forgot about the incident and put on deodorant immediately afterward.
Reply:I get them in a few spots. My doctor says that nobody knows why they show up, and why they grow where they do. But they are easy to remove - a quick snip, and they're gone. He said I could do it at home with a pair of scissors if I wanted to - just clean the scissors and the site beforehand.
Reply:It is a symptom of Polycystic ovary syndrome. Look it up.
Reply:A skin tag is a common, benign condition which consists of a bit of skin that projects from the surrounding skin and may appear attached to the skin. Their origin is unknown so there is no way to prevent them. In cases in which a skin tag is irritated or cosmetically unwanted, treatment may be done by freezing the tag with liquid nitrogen, tying off the tag with a thread or suture so as to cut off the blood supply, or cutting off (excising) the tag with a scalpel or scissors. Your doctor may remove it himself especially if it is a small one, otherwise he will refer you to a dermatologist. I do not recommend that you try and remove them yourself, as they can bleed heavily.
Reply:I don't know if any thing can prevent them. I've had a few taken off. My doctor says you can remove them yourself with sharp sterile scissors %26amp; lots of alcohol. Never had the nerve myself. You didn't say what age you are, but I think its all hormones.

Skin tags on Vaginal Area....Help?!?

I am embarassed as heck about this, and I do not want to particularly say anything to the doctor. (Granted I will call her tomorrow). Everyone says getting them removed is fairly painful and I would imagine even more down there. Has anyone ever had one removed from there. i want it off more for it being irritating than cosmetic.

Skin tags on Vaginal Area....Help?!?
This may sound a little crazy BUT I have gotten rid of them by tying them with a piece of thread.





First, clean the area with something antibacterial - like alcohol, etc. Take a piece of thread, wrap it around the skin tag and tie it very tightly in a double knot. It is the cutting off of blood flow to the skin tag that makes it harden and fall off in a few days.





I've not done it in the "area" you have them but I have done this on my neck, arms, underarms, etc. It is easier if you hold the skin tag out with a pair of tweezers and let someone else tie the thread. It does sting for just a minute when the thread is tied, but that passes and you do not even realize that there is anything there.





Good luck!
Reply:I did have 3 small skin tags removed from just below my vaginal opening. My sister had two removed. Her's were frozen off and mine were cut off. Both were numbed, quick and painless but both hurt a bit afterwards. She had to wait about 5-6 weeks before she could have intercourse without pain and I had to wait about 3-4 weeks. I had minor bleeding and minor pain when I wiped after urinating or deficating. The pain was only persistent for the first 24hrs or so then it was just if I really stretched the area or wiped after bathroom use. It wasn't so bad and totally worth it to have them removed.
Reply:what in the heck are skin tags???
Reply:I'm sorry Destiny I just don't know what skin tags are.
