I have got some skin tags near my ninny, I feared the worst at first, but since a visit to the Dr and gum clinic its confirmed they are tags. Now I know they are not nasty, the question is..... Do they hurt having them frozen off???
Apparently thedrs and gum said tthey are a common thing as you age!!! I'm 33 lol and don't remember seeing them on others lol |

I have got one, I'm 34 and had it 3 years and would love to have it removed, as mine is on my foofoo. No idea how it appeared, but was confirmed a tag at the GUM clinic, but no one has mentioned about removal. I'm due to go to the clinic, as not been since end of March, so will ask the nurse. |

Firstly......ninny? Lol not heard that one before!
Ive not had any on my ninny but have on my neck and i had them removed. Doesnt hurt a bit. They put a tiny bit of local anesthetic in first then burn them off. Takes seconds to do. Go for it. Mine used to make me self concious, feel great now theyve gone. |

You can tie them off tho that takes time (tie a piece of cotton round them to cut iff tge blood supply). There is some solution you can get now to dissolve but not sure what it's called. |

"I'm a little self conscious of them. You can see them on my pics. My hubby has grown quite fond and says they add character lol"
Yeah i browsed ur pics. They look quite flat which isnt a problem but if they grow bigger they will nick on things. I had a biggish one on my neck that my hair always used to get stuck around, would bleed like mad. Honest tho they only take seconds to do. But do it thru ur gp rather thsn solutions/cotton etc. |

I've tried that, but it was too fiddly, got frustrated and gave up! |

I had no idea you could get them removed?!
I have one on my neck that always catches on my hair and necklace.
I've been to my GP about it and they never mentioned I could have it removed. Fuckers!

If your surgery has a practice nurse she can get rid of them by tying them off with cotton.
Painless and they are gone in days.
Not something a GP needs to do. |

There's a solution called dermatag, you can buy it online for about £20. Apparently tea tree oil dries them out and they fall off. I have some on my neck, very annoying! |

Just go to ur gp. The practise nurse or sometimes health care assistant will do them.
Dont tie them off or use wart stuff lol. Its painless and quick getting them burnt off. And with getting them burnt off chances of scaring are less. |

I went to my GP about a tag a few weeks back. He said they won't tie them off and advise people not to do it either... |

Years ago I had two in my armpit, which the nurse at my surgery sliced off under a local. I had one recently on my 'bits' which I would catch with the razor if I shaved. I'd had it checked out at the GUM clinic so I know it was a tag. Tried to tie it off but was too fiddly to do. One morning, I got some tweezers and pulled it to it's limit and then snipped it off with a pair of sterilized nail scissors. I had tissue handy to stem the blood as they do tend to bleed quite heavily for such a small thing. However, surprisingly it didn't bleed too much and once dried up, applied a cream and a plaster. It healed really quickly and honestly didn't hurt that much.
That said, it might be better to get a professional to do yours!  |

Bloody daft really, I had visions afterwards about going into A&E and having to announce to the world that I had made my pussy bleed!  |

I get them a bit round my neck. It can be a tad sore whilst they are tied if they rub, but it will drop off eventually without you even realising. Visually, it looks fine (yes, I looked lol curious  ) |

I had a skin tag near my nipple and I cut it off with nail clippers but I wouldn't go near my flower to cut one off.....I am going to get a tiny lump cut out of my back in a few weeks and they will use local anaesthetic to do that so they might do something similar for your tags? If they do then it won't hurt but may be tender for a day or two xx |

Tie a skin tag with a bit of your own hair. Stops blood supply and it drops off.Did this to my friends skin tag on her back and it dropped off in a day.

I didn't know what else to use.....I was in the bathroom and thought I will just give it a try - it made a weird squeak noise, stung for a second and bled for maybe a minute but other than that it was fine |

I could maybe consider snipping one off somewhere else....but not on my boob, and not by my nipple (cupps boobs again)
I tried to tie one off my neck years ago...the cotton stayed on for all of 10 seconds.
The squeak noise u mentioned tho i hope the poor boobie got some extra attention for a while! Lol |

It would have done but once I told my OH what I had done he went white and had to sit down for a few minutes - a man who was in the army for years and has seen combat |
