Skin Tag Removal

[Willow Summers]

I have developed ugly skin tags on the point of entry to both holes. Apparently these grow when there is a lot of friction rubbing against the skin. I only discovered these when I had a few close up photos done. They are so ugly! They are now getting sore.

I'm off to the hospital next week to discuss getting them removed

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced these and what did you do about them?

Ooh, I think there was a recent thread about this, let me see if I can find it...


By the way, if you emphasise how much pain and discomfort they're causing you (rubbing on clothes, you catch them when you wipe, etc), they can't dismiss this as "cosmetic", and SHOULD remove them for free - perhaps even at your first appt.

Here's the one I was thinking of: http://www.saafe.info/main/index.php?topic=31003

I had one very near my hoo hah. Always dismissed as cosmetic. So one day I just cut it off with a sterilised pair of nail scissors. Hurt for an instant, bled for a bit. And I wish I'd done it years earlier.

Oh yeah, this is SO why you NEED to stress how much it is causing you pain, discomfort etc, cos if you go in saying "I hate it cos it's ugly" they are much less likely to remove it. You MUST tell them it hurts/bleeds/swells up/catches etc, so they take it seriously as a health problem.

Hahah I did the same couple of years ago on my labia area & it went fine too...I'd advise others to get the professionals to do it still, just in case

Fishing wire does well, I used it in a tag in my breast! Whatever you choose, it's not painful

I've had one on my upper thigh ever since I was little, but it's never bothered me.  Then about a year ago I developed another on the skin between my pussy and backside.  It kept rubbing against my knickers, and I was debating about getting it removed, when I accidentally shaved it off.  It hurt for a day or 2, as my knickers still rubbed against the wound, but it's not grown back.  Fingers crossed I don't get anymore.

If you have a few, it's probably best getting them professionally removed, as you don't want them to get infected.

I have done this as well. Bled like a bastard but they heal up without leaving a scar.  I had one on the top inside of my thigh and one on my outside lip.

Thanks guys

I would much prefer to remove the ugly blighters myself, but I cant reach them. My blummin belly and boobs get in the way of everything! Thanks for the advice about saying they hurt xx

 PS. I wish clients would do something about theirs!

I get sick at the site of 'bunches of grapes' hanging around ball sacks and under armpits (although that is bearable as my tongue isn't going in their armpit).

I want to reach for the scissors and a lighter!

I was surprised when I read on the NHS website that they basically recommend removing them yourself. The NHS just isn't bothered.

i have one on my thigh but not brave enough to remove it :/

Yeah, it's money saving. It's a non-essential op that *could* be seen as cosmetic. That's why you HAVE to push the pain and discomfort angle. If they're regularly getting sore, they could become infected. More money for the NHS to have to spend, if that happens.

I've never had them, I have seen them on clients and have heard that you can have them removed by the NHS.
