little growths!

[JSK]

what are these little bits of skin that appear around my neck occasionally? i've heard you can tie cotton tightly around them and they drop off. is this true or safe??

:0/

Skin Tags JSK. I twist mine in a clockwise direction till it hurts,then stop and repeat throughout the day until they turn blue and drop off. I've never tried the cotton way but Im told it works just as well,both perfectly safe:-)

GP will freeze them off.

oh god..... skin tags? , i'm too much of a wuss to twist em and i hate doctors. - there's no hope! right, now where's that cotton reel. tie and forget i reckon. gulp.

thanks guys!

i have same problem and i too am a coward . ive been through childbirth and i cant bring myself to tie cotton round a little bit of skin how pathetic of me.

[JSK]

i'll tie u and u tie me baby..... we can support each other! - i think fina is one of those un-squeamish types.

[Kay]

Lol, I would'nt say Im unsqueamish JSK. My daughter actually showed me what to do with the skin tags and BOY did I howl when I was twisting the tags. My daughter sat there laughing,cruel girl:-))

I went to my GP with mine who tied a piece of cotton round it - very tightly. It did work.

Babybop - btw i've had 3 c sections - no problems up and about showering and walking same day (despite the pain) but come to having a little thing like my stitches out - yuk. I don't think you're pathetic!

sorry to interupt your thread jsk, but i just have to tell kizzy that I too have had 3 sections. I was so proud at getting up showering AND going to the loo on the same day - BUT when they came to take the stiches out -I was SO scared!! And yet it didn't hurt, I knew it probably wouldn't - why is that?

[Kay]

Snap girls! I had 3 C Sections too. Like you I was fine with the showering,looking after the baby's and trying to cough and not to sneeze but when it came to my stitches coming out my toes curled up on all 3 of mine. I was scared to get off the bed in case my womb fell out:--)
