Skin Tags !
 

So, I'm in the shower this morning and I feel a little nugget under my right armpit. It's flapping around like I have a Grape Nut stuck in the armpit hair. After getting out of the shower, I see that it's a skin tag! What the fuck? I must have hatched this thing recently. As far as I know, this is the only one I've got. There's quite a bit of flesh involved, so I'm gonna have to ice it up good before going after it with the toe nail clippers. Or maybe I should bomb it with some wart-be-gone ... Any ideas?

wtf is a skin tag?

That's what I was wondering....

something like umfoofoo in your sig is eating I think

Dude, you need a doctor, not an Ice cube:Graucho

dont cut it man .... I heard you can get some shape of cancer if they arent removed properly.

hmmmmmmm

you mean a mole? or a wart? either way, I don't think you should cut it off... could be bad.

My ex got them under this arms once ina while.

Tie a piece of thread tightly around the base of it. It cuts off the blood supply and it will fall off after a few days.

LOL that's not melanoma. I've seen melanoma close up.

My grandfather got it in his last stages of pancreatic cancer.

I also used to drive my Uncle's (by marriage) father to the skin doctor once a week when he got transferred to Canada by his company.

I used to always go by and check him out to make sure he didn't have any lesions coming up, and believe me their noticeable.

What this guy has is what looks like a little bag of skin. It's kind of hard to explain what it is, I've have a couple of them and an oncologist told me just to ice them and whack them off.

They are only soft tissue, usually it's like a skin duct that gets turned inside out.

I never had mine whacked off, because it's in a place that no one would see it and it doesn't bother me.

Thanks PK, I may try the thread technique.


For those who don't know, a skin tag is just a benign little flap of skin.

Tell yourself that all you want. You are in what is called the "denial" stage right now. Good luck.

Fucking A did a google image search and found this skin tag at a site:

Ugh. That's more like a spontaneous ovary rejection.

" A skin tag is a small, brown or flesh-colored flap of skin that is usually narrow at its base. Skin tags may appear around the neck, under the arms, under the breasts, in groin creases, and on the inside of the upper thigh area."

It's kinda like one of these, but under my arm.

Ah, the joys of ageing...

skin tags are for hippies

How the FUCK do you let something get that bad? That is horrible...did she just try to ignore it until it demanded its own seat at the dinner table or something?:helpme

Resemblance?

That thing reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn.

I thought he meant a skin tag like the new tattoo tags they have in the army. :winkwink:
