Avatar n tn a skin tag on the scrotum is kind of embarrassing. can it be removed using a topical application, or does it have to be removed surgically?
Avatar f tn "My 7 mo. old granddaughter has a pre-auricular skin tag outside of her right ear canal. I am a retired RN and am skilled with essential oils. I have removed quite a few skin tags of my own easily & painlessly using frankincense essential oil. The pediatrician my daughter has for her children suggested that my granddaughter be seen by a plastic surgeon for the removal of this lesion as they can have roots that could involve the inner workings of her ear.
Avatar n tn A week ago I noticed after a shower that i have a skin tag in my pubic area. I haven't been sexually active for about three months so i thought it cant be stds and it doesnt itch or hurt or burner when i ****. I have been going to the gym alot these past three months and when i do i get pretty bad "swamp ***" or just get really sweaty in that area. I did some research of my own and it looks just like a skin tag but kinda darker in color.
Avatar f tn I had a skin tag growing on my back that got much bigger it seemed almost overnight. Well I noticed today after showering that it had flattened and turned a black color and is very hard to the touch. The base of this is still small and flesh colored but is a little more sensitive now. Is it possible for a skin tag to (for lack of a better word) explode from pressure? As I have recently been laid off I don't currently have medical insurance.
Avatar m tn Well, I would tend to agree with your doctor that surgical removal of the skin tag is unlikely to have major risks. The issue with getting an opinion online is that few individuals with a bad history are more likely to comment than those with a good outcome. However if there are no symptoms associated with the tag, management may not necessarily be indicated. I would suggest discussing the pros and cons in detail with your treating doctor before taking a decision. Hope this is helpful.
Avatar n tn Cosmetic removal for unsightly appearance is perhaps the most common reason (skin tags) are removed. Occasionally, a tag may require removal because it has become irritated and red from bleeding (hemorrhage) or black from twisting and dying of the skin tissue (necrosis)...There are several effective medical ways to remove a skin tag, including removing with scissors, freezing (using liquid nitrogen), and burning (using medical electric cautery at the physician's office).
Avatar m tn Hello, Anal skin tabs/tags are the shapeless lumps and flaps of skin or flesh found at the anal verge.It can be due to a hemorrhoid,sentinel tag or anal fissure or fistula.In case of small tags,they have to be excised under anesthesia.Even cryotherapy and laser removal is successful.But if it is extensive tagging or any of the other conditions mentioned above,then treatment options will be based on a surgeon’s examination and anoscopy to confirm the diagnosis. Hope it helps.
Avatar n tn It looks very similar to a small skin tag that I have on my right armpit. I pinched the skin tag located on my genitalia and it was extremely soft (like the skin tag on my armpit) and after pinching it several times the color changed from the same color as my skin to a dark red (i.e. it filled with blood). Does this sound like a typical skin tag? I am scared it may be a genital wart. Please shed any light you can. Thank you.
Avatar f tn I asked him if that was the same thing as a skin tag and he said no its residual skin. Confused on the difference. Every time I google residual skin, it comes up as skin tags. According to him the only option for removal is surgery which he is completely against said it can cause incontinence. I am very disappointed and frustrated as it is more embarrassing than anything else. Iam entering a new relationship. We have not been intimate yet but we are both very much into anal play.
Avatar f tn I had two skin tags removed and the dr left the area open didn’t stitch because she said she did it in hopes the skin would lay flat and not make another skin tag.
Avatar m tn also, there is a tool for skin tag at the drug store that apparently freezes or burns the skin tag at the base and shortly after the skin tag goes away. is there any harm in giving this tool a try or would it be dangerous due to the fact im not positive what these growths are. thanks for your time.
Avatar n tn hello! my daughter was born with a skin tag on her chest. it was a larger tag (unlike ones that adults develop) and the stem was too thick to tie of and remove. the tag was cut off/removed by a dermatologist. i was told that a small dimple or dent would appear in the place of the tag and would eventually disappear. it has been 4 months and i see no improvement in the scar. is this something that will take years to disappear?
Avatar f tn After the internal hemorrhoids were all taken care of we scheduled the skin tag removal. My skin tags would regularly swell up and protrude and hurt and really put a damper on my social life as well as my sex life. I was really self-conscious and its hard to have a good time when you're in pain and not feeling 100%. So, I had the procedure yesterday. I went into the room, undressed from waist down, covered up with the sheet, Dr. came in and had me lay on my side.
Avatar m tn My wife has a very large skin tag on the back of her lag. It's been there for years (she never had any form of medical insurance to get it looked at), and now looks like it's... rotting? Or something? It's leaking discharge all over the place, it's turning black, it smells terrible, is very painful and there are literally holes in it that you can see blackness inside.
Avatar n tn Anybody got any experience with this? I am terrified to have the skin tag removal (which will be done in the operating room with a spinal epidural like the hemorrhoid surg was per the MD)---I don't want to go through that amount of pain again. Thanks!
Avatar f tn A chemical peel is a body treatment technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin using a chemical solution that causes the skin to blister and eventually peel off. The regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin This is to be done by a professional-dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. Electrolysis uses low-level electricity to disable, or render the hair follicles inactive.
