I have them everywhere. I got a lot when I was pregnant with my first and they never went away. I also have PCOS which causes skin tags. I'll have to try the hair trick after this baby.

I like the hair trick. I plan on waiting to see if it will fall off I jus wanted to see some ideas. Ive heart the wart remover but idk. Im hoping it will go away since I didnt have it before.

Wow I didn't know u could get skin tags from pregnancy ( learn something new everyday)  I got the pregnancy mask tho,  so have a big bark mark right on my face :-/
I had a skin tag on my face I was born with.  When I was a teen I got this wart remover that I had forgotten apply nightly and it came off within a week (  even tho wart removers say not to use on skin tags)  not sure what 1 it was tho.

I currently have some due to my pregnancy. Some are pretty small but at least 3 were huge so I what i did (my moms/grandmas old tricks) made a loop/knot with my own hair and wrapped it around the tag to create a knot tightning the whole skin tag. Once tight just cut the ends of hair so you are only left with a few centimeters of hair on the sides. In 3 days the tag will fall off and you wont have any scarring whatsoever. It def really works! Good luck (:

I think you can have them removed. I think they can also fall off on their own

I got one on my neck last pregnancy. I hated it but it shrunk so much in the months after birth so didn't worry about doing anything about it. Hope yours does the same!
