Hey ladies, Just wondering if anyone else is getting tiny skin tags yet? I have one on my neck, under my arm and in groin area. Yuk. Hope they dissappear. What are they caused by?? Is it just pregnancy hormones?? ------------- http://pregnancyplanet.net/tickers/">

I get them all the time (it is not nessarly preggy related) it is to do with sweating you will notice they are in place's like under your arm there is really nothing you can do to stop them if they get big someone suggested to me to tie a piece of cotton around them to cut the blood supply off and they will die and fall off. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I get them and did when I was preggie with kobe to but they mostly disappeared after having him. I hate them too but mine thankfully are only tiny. I knew a girl who had one on her hip about the size of a 5 cent coin and it was gross. I seem to get them around my boobs so far, could be more but I cant see them |

| mrs frantic, skin tags are common in pregnancy, they are just like little pimples but are sort of shaped like teardrops. some people get big ones and can be born with them but often if you get them during pregnancy they will just disappear |

| my DH gets a lot of skin tags mainly under arms or around base of neck - those sweaty male areas - basically they either go away (a few months) or you can have them cut off or frozen iced off by doctor. My DH is gross and often cuts them off himself - they bleed like all **** but then stop and are gone! (men!!!) |
