anyone know the score? i seem to have developed one somewhere quite undesirable. i could go the docs about it but like any bloke, i dont like doctors, so contemplateing cutting it off myself. anyone know if this is a really bad idea for any reason asside from proper sterilisation of the stanley blade ill use to chop the fucker off with, is there anything i should be worried about? will it grow back bigger or anything daft?

Go to the doctors ,dont try cutting it off yourself

tie a bit of cotton around the base in a few days they drop off

Depends what it's like. I think most are just skin, but some can contain blood vessels etc. I was gonna cut mine off myself but got talked into going to docs. Waste of time really. They used a blade thing to seal the cut as they did it but pair of sissors for me next time. Or i've twisted em off in the past.

i aint a dr tho...

I thought a skin tag was a tattoo....

xr-stu

hmm this one is quite sensitive when i squeeze it so im guessing theres blood vessels and nerve ending in it.

the reason i dont really want to go the docs is its in my pubes about 1.2 inch from the base of my cock think it stems from when i shaved my pubes off completely when intoxicated once and had the MOTHER of all razor rash for about a month. i have two other little things that look like skin tags that havnt actually turned into skin tags yet, and an ingrown hair thats healing in the same area.

ive got one under my arm, my misses is a nurse n went mad when i said i was going to rip it off.

Im sure i heard its cause by friction of the skin? but could be talkign shite, in which case egnore me n fire away.

xr-stu

ive got one under my arm aswell but im not fussed about it tbh.

Iain Mac

I had one under my eye and another on my hip. The doctor froze them off with liquid nitrogen about 16 years ago.

The one on the hip has stayed away but the one on the eye has started growing back and I have a new one on my back.

Dunno what causes them.

Martyn

I looked into this recently as I have a couple under my arm

Lots of info there

i cut one off myself and it bled like a fooker... eventually it stopped but i did shit myself, not only that but i really didnt think about the timing as i was on a flight back form australia the next day... cabin pressure and wounds arnt good together LOL, i allways thought they were pretty common, ive only ever had one and that was on the skin between my legs at the top where it rubs when you walk etc.. TBH ive heard the cotton trick alot, friends have used this method and they do fall off after 2 days or so,

I had one of the ones that was just skin trapped round a hair that was growing, I just chopped it off with a stanley blade, bled a bit initially then problem solved.

Stop using Anti persperant/deodorant with either alcohol or alluminium in it.

Had HEAPS of them under arms and around neck - now mostly all gone.

The skin tag is the bodies way of ridding toxins.

xr-stu

it basiclly looks like a minature rice crispy growing off you

Kevin_Mc

yeah DIY it, i've done the same thing.

Granted not at the base of my cock. I used and inhalor to freeze it, quick clip of the nail clippers and it came off, once i stopped the bleeding i used Hydrocortisone cream and it healed within 3 days without a scar.

cos i want 2be

thats top drawer stuff man lol. "tpml"

POPEYE

I don't get that either, You can post on a public forum, And have a good chance of having the piss taken, But can't go see a doctor


Stu, Just go in the morning.....

xr-stu

its not face to face though on here is it!

foreigneRS

it will be, next time you meet any of us

xr-stu

im not bothered about chatting and laughing about it, but sitting down all serious in a strangers office then getting my bits out is the most awkward thing ive ever had to do :cryy: i fucking hated every second of it!

foreigneRS

does that mean that you did go?

xr-stu

not for this no, i went ages ago when i was having a constant dull ache in one of my bollocks.

Ginge

I had a few on my neck which i used to catch when shaving sometimes, went to the doctors and he burnt them off, stank like fuck..

Benni

Whatever happens people, take my advice and DO NO I repeat DO NOT put skin tags in Google images and look to the left. It's a sight you DO NOT want to see.

I'm ruined for life.

Benni.
