Skin tags??

Question

So I delivered our daughter on the 17th and I was showering last night and I realized I had a skin tag in my armpit! I noticed it cause I shaved and it hurt!!! Is it something that happens more during pregnancy or delivery because I didn't have it till after delivery. Or is it just my lucky self that it decided to show up at this time?

Answer

SAME HERE. I had two that just popped up in my armpit and I also got one where my thigh/pelvic area join. I seriously just ripped them off 😂😂😂😂

Answer

I've gotten a ton of small skin tags during both pregnancies. I hate it but last time they went back down to where I could barely feel them. Seemed to notice them more toward the end of the pregnancy.

Answer

I've gotten these for both of my pregnancies and they go away after birth

Answer

I got two really obvious ones on each armpit and nipple. Have some on my neck as well but those ones aren't noticeable.

Scared every time I shave my armpits that the razor will cut them off 😂😂

Answer

I did research and they said to put Teatree oil on them three times a day with a cotton ball. I've been doing this and it's not working. I wouldn't mind them but I have mine all over my neck and it's gross!!! Silly pregnancy side effects!

Answer

I got a lot of them this pregnancy for some reason normal I've heard

Answer

I now have what looks like a brown lentil next to my nipple. I showed it to the Dr the other day and she said not to worry, they are common on boobs and armpits during pregnancy and it may or may not stay with me forever. 😩

Answer

Omg I'm so excited to hear it's not just me!!! I've had three pop up since being pregnant and was starting to worry!

Answer

I've gotten a few myself and I think they are gross. From what I read it is normal during pregnancy due to hormones. Some can fall off on their own. I got one on my bikini area and I'm gonna have it removed by a derm. Supposedly moles can also pop up or change.

Skin tags usually occur in places that rub/have friction.

Answer

Applying apple
Cider vinegar on them three times a day with a cotton ball makes them fall off too
