Skin Tag Gone Brown....

[climber_chick]

I have had a skin tag in my belly button ever since I can remember. Since being pregnant it has got bigger and has gone brown. Does this mean it is dying and should fall off or is it a cause for concern? I am very self conscious of it now as where my belly button is protruding it is now very obvious!

No......it is just the hormonal effect on the skin tag.....a sort of "cloasma gravidarum"

No big deal.

Thanks so much for your response! Glad to know it's ok,just hope it disappears/hides after I give birth!

Tie a piece of cotton round the neck of it very tightly - it'll cut off the blood supply and it'll drop off. I've done that with mine.
