I used to cut the ones off I could reach and have the dermatologist snip the ones I couldn't, but like elvislover324, I don't get them since losing weight. Now some of them make sense to me that weight/rubbing would be an issue, but other locations I can't figure out how weight had anything to do with them, but there definitely was a correlation for me.
My family doctor clipped several off of me for the price of the normal visit, just clip clip clip. It stung a bit but was not bad. He said that he could give me shots to numb each one but the shots would be worse than him clipping them. I am very glad that I did it.
I've gone to the dermatologist a couple times for the "tag harvest". I have a fresh crop ready to be picked, one is right in my eyelashes and I don't like that one at all!
Nice to hear they will go away with the weight loss.
I've had a couple of small ones in the past and I used Compound W (wart remover). I applied it once or twice and they dried up & fell off in a few days.
Mine are always under my arms. I've gone to a dermatologist in the past to have them sprayed off. It stayed tag free for a long time, but now I have one new one. Sighs.
I'm waiting to see if any more crops up before I make another appointment. And I have tried over the counter wart measures, but they never did a thing for me.
I've been considering trying wart remover because the ones on my neck are starting to bug me. There is a thing called Tag Away that's supposed to make them fall off but you have to apply consistently for 6 weeks and it's like $20 for a tiny bottle. I had one on my waist that bothered me to the point that I just yanked it off. I wouldn't recommend that but if they're hanging on by a tiny bit of skin you can probably snip without pain or infection.
