I have had this thing on my neck for years. It frequently rubs on clothing and becomes sore. I have acquired a brand new scalpel blade from work. Can I just slice the damn thing off and not get pissed off every time I wear a collar or scarf..



ok, I lied about wearing a collar but the thing pisses me off

I await the slightly drunk pistonhead doctors responses..

Cut it off it's nowt. Record it on your camera phone as stills won't be as funny when the blood pours.




ETA: The OP has gingervitis.

Whats the worse that could happen?

I say give it a poll, my vote is with the cut off.

Who needs doctors when you have Pistonheads. wink

Go to the quack's and get him to cut it off, it will probably bleed like a stuck pig if you DIY.

If it is a mole, you definitely need it professionally removed, AFAIK there are serious implications if you get a mole removal wrong.

How have you lived with that? I would just snip it off with a pair of scissors, what's the big deal? I have had a few things like that over the years, I just cut them off or out.

Use a very fine cotton, and tie a very tight knot around the growth. This will eventually cause the growth to drop off the body.

Skin tag...just twist it a bit, and keep fiddling till it drops off. It might bleed abit, but it should stop.....finally

Yep, it's a skin tag, harmless to remove but check stocks with your local blood bank.
