Title: Skin tags.
Post by: Ju Ju on May 15, 2014, 08:16:27 PM

With summer coming I would like to wear sleeveless clothes, but have lots of little skin tags underarm, which makes it difficult to shave. Is there any way I can get rid of them?

My sister had 19 removed at hospital. I had 1 so I tied a piece of cotton around it and it dropped off. Hope this helps x

GP surgeries often remove them, but you have to wait until they're a decent enough size.  I'm growing a couple, one in each armpit. They're a blooming nuisance.

I have one on my back which catches on my bra strap. Might have to do something about it if it gets any bigger.

Thanks. A few are probably large enough to remove. I have to see my GP soon anyway, so I'll ask.
