A few years ago I found two brown lumps on either side of my chest. By the next day they'd broken up into many little flat freckles and migrated across my tummy over the next few months.
Most of the freckles are gone now but every now and then, the ones that are left, itch. They never itched or felt sore when they were freckley.
Anyway, I looked up skin tags today to see if that's what they were and it seems like they could be. Do skin tags itch? What can I do for them at home that doesn't involve freezing or zapping them off. I just want them to stop itching. |

Actually it sounds a bit skin cancer put like that. My dad is married to an ex-nurse and I showed her the moles. As she worked with the elderly she's trained to spot skin cancers. She said it didn't look like anything dangerous, but to keep an eye on them.
I'd have got them checked by a doctor if I didn't have her. Safety first! |

Fox - I would not try to treat this yourself since you don't really know what it is, you could make things worse. Could be nothing or could really be something, better to be safe.
DH has had skin tags removed but they never itched for him. |

| I recently came across a manual for tea tree oil: it has so much more uses that I new about. It is worth a try. Dilute it 1:10 parts with water. I just started using it for a very similar problem. |
