Update On Crusty Skin Tag

[237SJ]

I kept fiddling with it because it bothered me and I managed to get the crusty bits off. I also used to absentmindedly wiggle it around with my finger. I made it bleed a couple of times and put plasters on it (I know, I know). Anyway, it has gone and there`s not even a scar. Job done (saves a visit to the doctor anyway)

Funny you should mention that... I too had one about 1/4 inch long... been there on my upper under arm for years. After reading your previous post and checking other sources I decided to remove it with the thin thread routine. Tooth flossing material is also suggested.

At any rate, it worked but took a lot longer than I thought it should... nearly 2 weeks. Seemed to noticeably pull a little bit after a few days but that was due to the string being left a little too long in length and often caught the string when taking off a shirt...

I remember when I was about 12, I had some sort of strange wart-type growth in the same area. It wasn`t a wart (I don`t think I have ever had a wart) because it was red. It had been there for ages. I read somewhere about a weird charm that involved a piece of bacon and an ash tree. We had a big ash tree in the field behind our garden so I gave it a go. A week later, the growth was gone.
