Skin tag
 

I have a skin tag (a small harmless, but painful growth) under one breast. And no, there will not be pics. Has anyone removed one of these? I am debating cutting it off with nail clippers, but am faint-hearted because of the possible pain.

tie a piece of dental floss around it very tightly. it will starve and fall off by itself after a few days.

or, you can have a doctor remove it--I've done that, too, especially with large ones.

Ewwwwwwwwwwww!
Can't you live with it?

I have an anal tag thanks to piles a long while back. I can't imagine trying to remove it any time soon.

Just realised you said painful.
Painful how?
Go to a doctor. I'd never advocated self surgery. And if it's painful just being there, I'd suggest that involves blood and nerves and things (that's the technical description). Removing it could mean a painful mess.

I recall hearing something about using New Skin (almost like clear nail polish) to "starve" a skin tag - not sure if it works.

SG, painful is because it is right at bra line, and keeps getting rubbed and irritated. It may involve nerves, but I think I may just try the dental floss thing, or that freeze away wart stuff.

Go to wlagreens and you can pick up a remover. You can freeze it off yourself.

Gotcha.
Good luck.

I have a boatload of these little fuckers. Walgreen's, you say?

I never knew you could do anything about them except have a doctor remove them. Blech. I also have a few I'd like to zap, but I'm a wimp.

Is this the too-much-information thread, because I have a pimple on my left nut that's the size of... my left nut.

How do you know which is the pimple and which is the nut?

The pimple is the one that gives off the most milky white fluid.

okay volunteers to pop UT's pimple-line up. (Hastily stepping back, myself)

Have it cut off in the office of a professional. Painless, except for the shot of local under the skin, oh, that and the bill afterwards.

did you try one of the suggested things, binky?

actually no. I put a bandaid on it and applied pressure for about a week, and the little bastard got flat, turned black and fell off this morning. Painless and free!

Congratulations on your loss :)

Isn't that how they geld bulls?

Thanks for bringing it up UT, but I really don't want to know. That'll only lead to people posting images. don't need that - blech!

MORE TMI:

I have two placed strategically across from each other in a spot where another undergarment can irritate them.

So, how did you get rid of it binky? How did you apply pressure to it? I'm not trying to be funny, I'd really like to get rid of these things.

Don't know about bulls, but I saw a device to geld a goat once that was sort of like tongs, with a really small rubber band, which is stretched, then put over the poor goat's sac, and then let go. According to the package, they just "drop off" after a while. :vomit:

Just kept pressing on the spot whenever I thought about it (when at home of course). This would probably be a lot more difficult near another undergarment, without eliciting a lot of stares.

Thanks SG!

Heehee...it'll be something to do when I'm watching TV.

Two words you should never hear: ANAL TAG

Oops, sorry.

I'm sure Sheldon plays that game a lot...
