xfox3x Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Personally I'd visit my GP with them, they can probably remove them safely and painlessly with a local anaesthetic. My GP wouldn't do mine. He said that they have no funding for it now. I tied them with dental floss and they fell off within a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyLover Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I have one which I went to the doctors about - he said he would remove it if I wanted - but I didn't bother, as it is not in a place where it can be seen by anyone else!

horribleblob Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Pair of scissors and a styptic pencil? That's what the hospital used when I had some come up as part of some scarring. Yes, I had a couple a few years back and just cut them off with a pair of sharp scissors, followed by a dab of TCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babooshka Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have had several. Just popped to the docs for the minor surgery, as they call it. Took about two seconds per tag. They can either give you a little anaesthetic and burn them off, or just burn them off. Both ways are painless. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
