Has anyone ever had skin tags removed from your armpits. I have about 50 of them in one armpit. The DR says just to leave them alone for now but I keep getting more. How do they remove them.????I had a small one removed from my neck just by cutting it off. How would they do so many??? Does anyone know.
PS: I am a man--if it was a woman would the DR say the same thing....How would a woman ever shave there with so many.

Save your money instead of having the doctor remove them. I know this sounds awful and painful but just get a nail clipper and cut them off. This way wont hurt you or your wallet.

I'D LIKE TO REVIVE THIS TOPIC! I have one of those skin tags in the area under an eye. Has anyone had any experience with this condition (in the eye-area) and any natural remedies? (OUCH to the nail-clipper idea).

My husband has numerous on his upper neck, but he doesnt shave and has a beard. The skin tags still bother him and he'd love to get rid of them too so how to remove them would interest him. I'm curious on where they actually come from? I once heard it was due to some people's high intake of dairy products. He did used to drink a litre or so of milk per day, but surely it can't be due to this?

Over the past few years I've noticed a lot of these little buggers growing around my neck. Every time I see my GP I get her to take some off. All she does is use liquid nitrogen and they fall off in about a week, with no scarring.

These are the tiny ones I'm talking about. Bigger ones you would need to get them cut out (I've had some done this way too).
