Skin Tags

Seem to have "acquired" a few of these over the past couple of years.  If anyone has had one, how did you get rid of it?  Wouldn't want to bother my GP with something so trivial but would love to be rid of them.

Is this any help?

I have a few myself and i have also noticed just how many actors and actresses have them. I'm not that purturbed about the ones hidden on my torso, but i do have a few tiny ones on my neck which are sometimes visible.

I've nipped a couple of tiny ones off with my nails before they get big.  I remember my mum twisting a thread very tightly around one and pulling determinedly until it came off - then a drip of disinfectant.

Tie a bit of dental floss at the base if it.

That starves the tag of blood and it should drop off naturally in about a week.

It does work.

There's a place on the back streets of Naples where you can shake them off, apparently.

I've seen stuff advertised in magazines that you can put on them, but if I were you Maggie, I'd ask at the chemist.

Jarg Nothing sexier than seeing someone walking about with dental floss hanging from their skin tags.😀

Barsel there is this new invention called a plaster. It goes on cuts as well 🤣

[Barsel]

Oh well, that will look even more enticing having a plaster stuck on top.😍

[Jarg]

Well to be honest I think a week with a plaster on is just a little bit better than a lifetime with a skin tag dangling from you.

Please run along now.

[Barsel]

How rude!

[Jarg]

Oh dear I'm so sorry to upset you 🤪

[Barsel]

Yeah, it looks like it.😝

Reckon Mr Faulty should stick to quizes and puzzles.
