I had 2 small ones under my eye lashes.Annoying to say the least. You couldn't see them. But when I put eye liner on I could feel them.

I got so tired of them that I used cutical clippers and cut them off. One two three gone. 4yrs later they've not returned.

Any good dermatalogist will take them off for you. A small zap with the laser does it. I have cut off a couple of annoying ones with scissors. I believe they are caused by a virus?

if they are big enough, clean area with alchol,ctc with twizers and clip with sharp scissors, cutcuil scissors works well. Clean again also clean tools before. My husband has done several for me. Had some removed at Dr.'s office. He hurt more.

Just remembered my Dr called these tags "Senior Warts".

I tie a strand of my hair around the bottom to cut off the blood. It works and doesn't really hurt. And unlike thread or floss, it doesn't show :)

If you find out how let me know. I wouldnt pay the Dr. to remove them as they grow back. I had about 53 removed and within a month they were back. I do cut some of them off with small scissors if they are bothering me.

I had mine removed by the Dr and I had that white mark for a number of years and then it faded away. He told me the ones that are long and skinny can be cut off with scissors or nail clippers, but if they are more flat and attached to have them done.

Yes, they can be annoying and sometimes painful. I had one right where the elastic met my inner thigh. 25 years later, the Gyno asked me if I wanted it removed while she did my hysto. Why had no one asked me about this for 2 1/2 decades?
