For part three of this series, I'm going to talk about a skin condition that is not at all flattering, skin tags! I have always found these gross and I’m glad mine are not on my face or anywhere else that can be seen by just anyone. There are a few different treatments I have seen or heard of but the one I am going to share is painless, chemical free and only takes a couple days to remove them.
If you have a doctor remove your skin tag, he or she will numb the area around it, then slice it off and apply liquid stitches. This is quick and easy but far from painless, and depending on your insurance, it may or may not be covered which can make it expensive as it will be billed as cosmetic surgery! |
I learned a really cool home remedy several years ago when I was in cosmetology school and one of my fellow classmates had a crazy amount of skin tags pop up. One of our teachers told us we could tie some thread around the base of them very tightly and within a couple days it would fall off.
For her, it was worth a shot! No body wants to be in the beauty industry with any type of visible flaw if they can help it and this was free/super cheap to try. Most people have a spool of thread laying around the house and if not, you can get one or a whole sewing kit for that matter from the dollar store for pretty cheap! She tried it and it worked! within two days, the skin tags were gone!! |

Now as a pregnant woman who has had a couple show up, I am faced with the fact that I bleed much more than I normally would, plus the doctors don’t like to give any unnecessary medications including a local anesthetic to do a minor treatment on something that isn't life or death. I am doing the thread and I know it’ll work within a couple days!
Well, this was supposed to be just a three part series but I am finding way too many topics to talk about! Check back next week for part 4 of pretty pregnant! Also, leave a comment or ask some questions! I have plenty of time on my hands to get back to you until I have this baby!
