i recently found one and i am concerned, it is very small though. is this normal?
Are skin tags in the vaginal opening normal?
I hate to say this, but that sounds like HPV-Human Papiloma Virus or a Vaginal Wart. Get it checked out by your doctor asap.
Reply:Of course they are.
Reply:whats a skin tag..... sorry but i really have never heard that before
Reply:I really don't know if it's normal or not, but I have heard of it before. As far as it being a sign of illness or disease, I don't know, and it really may be in your best interests to get it checked out.
Reply:It could be part of the hymen that broke off or detached from the rest. That's really all the hymen is, a membrane on the vaginal opening. I would probably still get it checked by a doctor, though.

Skin tags, developing a tiny one right below my eye?
Want to get rid of it asap before it gets noticeable, any suggestions
Skin tags, developing a tiny one right below my eye?
I would suggest NOT to pull it off, especially on your face, if it tears surrounding skin you will be left with an unsightly scar. Go to your doctor, they just use a hot instrument to cut them off, it shouldnt hurt much and it shouldnt leave a scar
Reply:i had some under my arm i pulled them off, they bleed a bit but never came back
Reply:Your G.P. can freeze it off. Ordinarily I would say tie a piece of cotton around it tightly and it will fall off but you can't really do that on your face.
Reply:Dermatologist.
Schedule an appointment with one (you'll need a referal from your family doctor).
I have one under my eye, I hate it, but it's not very noticeable.
Reply:Some beauticians would remove it for you, but your GP might do it for you for nowt.
Reply:you can go to your docs and get these frozen off
Reply:Yiekks!!, not sure what best to do. Definitely seek medical advice and get rid of it safely. Good luck to you duck!.

Skin tags? Other than pain, is it ok to cut these ugly things off at home?
No, because in order to be safe, equipment needs to be sterilized. Also, there's a risk of bleeding that can't be ignored. See a dermatologist.

What on earth is a skin tag???
I have no idea what you're talking about, but NEVER EVER cut any part of you! The only person who should EVER cut live skin is a SURGEON!!
DON'T do it at home, you risk bleeding, infection, pain, bruising, and did I mention INFECTION?
Seriously go to a doctor for whatever a skin tag is, don't cut them yourself, you're not a surgeon!
Edit: I may not know wtf a skin tag is, but my mother is a nurse and I know that when you cut live skin, you run the risk of an infection. Giddyup, you're a fool if you think you're not risking it.
Reply:My husband has no problem snipping them off with a nail clippers...He's been doing this ever since having one snipped off the same way by his Dr. and being charged for Surgery........It's just a tag and has never had one bleed...
I notice the people telling you it will get infected, don't even know what a skin tag is.....
Reply:i actually used to have two. don't cut them off, that's terrible! and prob. not safe.
when i removed them it was painful, but i pinched both of them off. with my fingernails. and i twisted alittle too. then it's not completely removed, but beginning to loosen. so i kept doing that every day and it does hurt quite a bit. but in the end it finally had a very thin attachment and i pinched the whole thing off.
it hurt, but I'm glad i did it. i hated them.
Reply:The very small ones you can probably clip yourself if you can handle the pain. Larger ones I would have your doctor remove. I had some large ones in my armpits and would occasionally snag them with my razor so I had my regular doctor do it in his office. I also had him remove a raised mole on my jawline on the same visit. Due to unpredictable bleeding or infection it is best done in a sterile environment by a professional.

Skin tags on genital area?
These appeared about 2 months ago and keep on coming--what is up? I have had the same partner for a year--
Skin tags on genital area?
An easy method of removing a skin tag is by using the "ligation" method. That would be to "choke" off the supply of blood to the head of the skin tag by tightly tying a piece of thread around the "stem". In a few days it will simply die and fall off.
Reply:Dirty wash cloth?
Reply:You may want to have them checked by your dr. This could be a viral infection or STD.
Reply:could be warts -could be normal for you. visit your doctor for STD testing and a full exam. always use a condom.
Reply:female ??? look up PCOS in www.webmd.com
or PCOS in google...
Reply:Skin tags appear where the skin is constantly rubbed or friction is present. Try a new fabric of under garments or loose fitting. They are not infectious like certain warts, so your partner is not to blame. They can easily be removed by a doctor or over the counter wart freezing products. If you want a more natural remedy try basil oil it slowly and less painfully burns them off.
Reply:I am unclear what you mean by skin tags. Please explain.

Skin tags anybody no how to get rid of them instead of going to dr.?
What causes them and cure or solution please. I would appreciate your imput.
Skin tags anybody no how to get rid of them instead of going to dr.?
There are numerous ways to get rid of a skin tag:
cryosurgery (freezing)
tying off the stem to cut off the blood supply
excision with scissors or a scalpel
burning with an electrolysis needle
These have to be done at a doctors office though.
It is not known why the form exactly, but they occur usually where the skin creases a lot.
Reply:Causes : When Spleen, Gall baldder, liver %26amp; Pancreas are not properly functioning in the body. Cure : Drink the extract of the following the first thing in the morning : 21 leaves of bitter 'Neem' with stalk. 21 leaves of 'tulsi' with stalk. 21 leaves of 'bilipatra' (7 x 3) with stalk.
Reply:Air in the can for blowing dust off of things. I wonder, does Liquid comes out of the can when turned upside down. Is It incredibly cold, below freezing?
I wonder if something below zero would numb something like a skin tag so it could be cut off? I imagine you would have to shield the skin around the skin tag so as not to get a freeze burn on it. I bet you would have to apply a dressing to the area of the removed skin tag because it would bleed a great deal.
Reply:I had a couple under my arm so I twisted one at a time until I couldn't stand the pain any more %26amp; did that for a few days, they turned black %26amp; fell off, took about a week or so.
Reply:Tie them off with fishing line, real light fishing line, or suture #6. At the base, real tight, then cut off excess ends of line, leave in place for about a week, skin tag turns blue, brown , black and falls off.

Skin tags? Other than pain, is it ok to cut these ugly things off at home?
It all depends on how you intend to to cut them off... If you're to use scissors or nail clippers, you have to make sure that the tool you use is not infected.
The other thing is that you have to make sure that it's actually a skin tag. If it's a tumor or a wart, then that may be quite risky.

Reply:I have. I froze it with an ice cube, sterilized the area with betadine and the cuticle scissors I used, then snipped it off. I put antibiotic ointment on afterward. No problems have occurred.
Reply:Positively. I have done it and had it done at home with no problems at all. Just be sure to have a very sharp instrument and all things sterilized. Good luck. If you just remove the skin tag, there will not be torrentail bleeding!!!!
Reply:I know people who have cut them off with a nail clipper. Personally I'd be afraid to. But if you do, disinfect them and the clippers before you do and then disinfect your skin and put on Neosporin and a bandaid afterwards. I've even heard of people putting duct tape over them and I guess it "kills" 'em.
Reply:There is a danger of infection if you are not very careful about sterilizing your equipment.
I have removed small ones "at home" but feel it best to let professionals deal with larger ones.
Reply:Yeah but be ready cause your going to bleed..
Reply:Do not be your own Surgeon. The Skin tags do have Nerve endings %26amp; may have Blood Vessels. So in such case there might be Torrential bleeding which may require Hospitalization. %26amp; when you can get them removed without pain, why bear pain ? Have you heard there is a saying, " Penny wise, Pound Foolish"
Reply:I've done it before, it stings. And if you don't get the whole thing it grows back...and the crazy things TAN. I didn't go in the sun and the tags were not dark. then I spent time in the sun and they turned BROWN, Gross!
I heard of a remedy, you get Grapefruit Seed extract, not grape... from the health food store. and you put a drop on the tag and cover it with clear tape. it is supposed to make it fall off. I think I would use packing tape, it has more sticking power. and the extract is oily.

Skin tags? any1?.....?
so what is the best way to get rid of them?
has anyone tied a string around "them" b4? what happened? did it just fall off? and how long do you have to keep it on?
Skin tags? any1?.....?
My mother had a skin tag on her face. Please do not try to remove it yourself. check with your physician/doctor %26amp; have him/her remove it. If you try pulling/cutting it off, you may cause more damage than you want.

Reply:A doctor is the best person to remove them, dont try to do it yourself or you could get it infected and you would end up with a nasty scar instead
Reply:Yes that works, I have had some under my arm and have used a new nail clipper and clipped them. It hurts like hell and bleeds but there gone. People probably would agree but it worked for me.
How are skin tags treated? 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.
Is there another medical name for a skin tag? A skin tag is medically also termed a cutaneous papilloma or an acrochordon. However, a skin tag is best known as a skin tag.
Reply:Uhhh Never heard of that technique before. Some skin tags can be easily removed , others are too big and should only be done by a doctor. I have had many of them removed in my life. The larger ones may need to be cauterized to stop the bleeding. A dermatologist can remove them all at one time. Its important to have a doctor do this because some moles look like skin tags.
Reply:Nowadays, so many people of all ages have skin tags that it just doesn't matter if you have them anymore. I used to think mine were freakish until I asked around and 7 times out of 10, the people you ask either have them too or know someone who has them. And like the others have said ... it hurts like hell to rip them off yourself. OUCH!!!
Reply:Sanitized nail clippers. If they are small, this is the easiest way to do it. I just removed 3 yesterday.. two were very tiny, one was large. The large one kind of hurt, but as long as you are 100% sure everything is sanitized and you don't clip your skin besides the tag, it's safe. They will bleed if they are big, but don't get freaked out.
I tried the string thing but it never worked for me..
