Yep...I am just noticing those in that area. I am glad you mentioned them. Now I know it is not just me. Reverse puberty is a good name!

My doctor just snipped mine off, hurt just for a second and they haven't come back. I have so many now and none really bother me so I'm just going to leave them alone.

One of my Grandsons had a skin tag removed from in front of his ear, He was a Baby and doesn't even know he had one. The Doctor removed it, no way would I try doing this.

My BIL was a pathologist and was frequently asked by his employees to tie off their skin tags. He reports that it was painless for those gals because there should be no nerves in them. They just applied alcohol a few times a day to help dry them up, much as we used to do with umbilical cord stubs. I actually just tied off a huge one on my dog that he had had for years and was so unsightly. I was nervous, but he never seemed bothered by it. After I tied it off with a rubber band, it just necrosed, and when it was mostly dried up, I cut it off. He's still fine. The vet was going to charge over $300 to remove it. Not that folks are like dogs!

I had a friend who went to the Dr. and he used to just nip them off. So instead of paying the Dr., she would just do it herself. I cut one off my self too, and I was surprised how much it bleed. But it has not come back either!

This is what worked for me. I had read somewhere that vitamin E would remove skin tags, so I pierced a couple of vitamin E tablets and applied the gel on my skin tags. I did this 2 or 3 times and eventually they just dropped off. Totally painless. My husband had his removed by the Dr. who burned them off - guess he didn't like my idea, although he had a couple near his eyes, so that was probably the right thing to do. But try the vitamin E capsule, it works.

I have those bumps...right at the bra line. I figured they were from the bra rubbing and maybe sweat...I do live in Texas! I have no idea what to do about them.
