Anyone every cut them off yourselves? My dermatologist said it's no big deal and I can do it myself but I'm a chicken when it comes to pain. Have you ever done it? Any recommendations?

I also had to google skin tags. I'd probably do it myself, but you may want to get a blood sugar test.

Used finger nail clippers to remove some. Works alright. Douse the clippers in alcohol and clean the area with alcohol then keep pressure for about 10 mins afterwards. Cover with band aid and neosporin. Careful not to get your regular skin in the clippers

I applied some ice to this one, pulled the sucker away from the skin and cut at it until it was flat. I tried taking it all in one clip but that ish HURT
quote:Your PCP should be able to do it. Or your gyno...he's used to seeing your hooha anyway.
I have one. Just one... and it's right on the crease of my thigh, semi close to my hooha, in the the just right spot for the elastic in my undies to make it ANGRY! It hurts like a mother ****er, but I ain't gonna attack that angry thing myself, that's for sure! Gonna have to see somebody about it, but I'm not sure which doctor to task with removing this angry beast. I am not looking forward to tackling this situation... or having to sit on a surgical wound while this thing heals. I may even cry.

quote:I'm kind of between insurance companies, but I think [hope] mine might be covered since it's causing problems. It's no longer just a little piece of skin. It's really mean and if left untreated, I think can cause infection. But, yeah, I'll probably get my gyno to handle it. In the meantime I guess I'll go buy some thongs.
If you have a dermatologist, I'd suggest going there. But like Moore said, your PCP or gyno could do it. My insurance doesn't cover the cost of removal though, which is why they suggested I do it myself.

Post pic so we can better determine which doctor to recommend.

I tried telling them it caused problems too and they didn't budge. Apparently blue cross is pretty adamant on the necessity of having a skin tag removed.
