Skin tags

[Rick101]

I've got one. Guess it's a combination of getting older and fatter.

Just tied a string round it (reef knot).

How long till the little bugger drops off?

Oddly, I used to get them as a youth on my neck. They were small and I just tore them off - they bleed a bit but so long as you don't have to wear a white shirt for half an hour that's fine.

Just cut it off

My daughter had one on her chin. Great big one too. When other children at primary school started commenting I took her to the doctor and he froze it so it dropped off.

I had a couple under my arm pit area, got an appointemnt and got them cut off - only took about 20 mins in and out.

i do remember the embarassing bodies programme with the young lad with them all over his tackle... everyone in the room almost pissed themselves when the doc told him they were caused by too much friction... no idea how he had the bottle to let that be aired..

can be common around your neck if you wear collared shirts a lot.

usually just snip them off with (clean) nail clippers.
