Todays Topic: Skin tags

Do you all have skin tags?
Lots of them?
Do they ever go away?

I have skin tags and i HATE them,  i have them all over my neck and under my arms,  i hope they go away!! they are just a silly thing to have

Skin Tags suck!  Especially the ones that hit my Bra line!! Ouch not comfy!  Hopefully they do go away!

I honestly Hate these lil bundles of ICK!!  I have a few under my arms that I catch when I shave.  Several on my neck that get irritated by necklaces or collars.  Then the various lil pop up ones anywhere on my friggin body.  I am going to get these things removed.  I am going to talk to the dr.  I have had my fill of them.  I can't do anything about the skin starting to sag but I CAN do something about these aggravating lil boogers.

I just got two around my right eye, popped up outta no where. Grrrrr....  Anyone know if insurance covers these (doubtful) or what it costs to have them removed and how are they removed. I have a couple in under arms, but the two I just got around my eye disturb me.

I know my insurance would, i'v talked to my doctor about it and she told me it...however every insurance is diffrent!!
Maybe just call and ask them?
i mean the worst they can say is no :o(

Best of luck

 I was blessed not to have any up until a few months before surgery.  I think my body had been obese for too long!  And I was at my all-time highest.  I only have a couple and since losing weight they don't seem to be as prominent...if that makes sense.  They haven't gone away though.  

I gotta tell you guys that I hate, hate, HATE skin tags!!! They are so frustrating! Its convient when the docs do it but having them burned off has left scars on my neck. So after asking a dermatologist about it, I take them off myself. Pull them off with clippers, close as possible to the skin then dab it till it stops bleeding and then put a drop of wart remover (salicylate acid) on it and cover it with a little bandaid.
I've got these miserable abominations on my neck, armpits, beneath  my breasts (right where my bra sits and ouch! that hurts) and what I hate more than anything is that my son has started developing them. Ugh!!!! I hate genetics. And yes, genetics play a part as to whether you are predisposed to developing them or not. Sux right? I agree!!!
Anyway I've heard (not tried or seen) that you can encircle them with dental floss the just tighten the loop and basically yank them off. Sounds painless but I have enough trouble getting it right with clippers (a new toe nail clipper type) I cant imagine dental floss staying put for the job....
There is also, depending how consistant you are, the use of wart remover acid several times a day for a week or so. Basically till its gone but if you stop or miss for even a day, the darn things grow back soooo quickly!!!!!!

I don't have many but I seem to get them on my eyelids so I go to the dermatologist to get them removed- the 1st time I went it was covered by the insurance but the next time I went I had to pay per skin tag removed since insurance wouldn't cover it, it was $10 a skin tag  I think.  I don't know if they go away since I just had surgery.
