Skin tags

[Kelly47]

Hi.....this is my first time to post here, although I come here alot and read the posts. Ok, here goes......I was wondering if any of you have ever had any problems with skin tags? I have them all over my neck, it makes me so self conscious I wear a turtleneck whenever I go anywhere. I have been thinking about having them surgically removed, I just keep putting off going. I would appreciate any replies from anybody who have had this problem.

Skin tags are very common especially as people get older.
I have a few on my neck but have friends who had many of them. One friend had them removed and it left little black marks that faded shortly afterward.

ICK- me, too! I have a couple on my neck that my hair usually hide, but with summer ponytails coming..........I have noticed a couple on my back and arms, too! I wonder if insurance covers removal, or is it considered "cosmetic"?
No answers here, sorry, but tons of commiseration!

I've got lots of skin tags too. Sometimes wonder if they're genetic as other members of my family also have them. I've had mine since I was young. Used to work with a doctor who would tie a piece of suture round them, pull it tight & tie it like she was sewing up a wound. That meant the blood supply was cut off, so they turned black & fell off

I've got a few on my neck & my pet cockatiel tries to pull them off
