Acme Inc. Strikes Again

Skin tags are part of being fat, right?  I've had a couple on my neck and pulled them off while they were still tiny, but a couple of weeks ago, I found two tags on my left leg right up in the crease near my hoochie.  There was a small one and a bigger one.  They had to have been there for a long time to get as big as they were, but they didn't bother me until I found them.  After I found them, they started to hurt.  The little one hurt more than the big one, so I thought taking care of it was going to make the pain go away.  It's just an annoying pain, not anything serious.  So after a week of fidgeting and hemming and hawing, I finally pinched it off with my fingernail.  It worked an the skin tag was gone.  Fantastic.  But just when I thought my problems were over, the bigger one started to bother me.

This is the moment I started my Wile E. Coyote phase.  The bigger one wasn't as easy.  I tried to pinch it off like the other, and the pain was too much.  Then I tried nail clippers.  Again, too much pain.  Next was shaving it off.  I think I just scraped it up pretty bad because the annoying pain just got worse.  I tried scissors next, but couldn't get a good angle.  This morning I tied floss around it in hopes that it will turn black in a few days and fall off, but I might try clipping off again later today.

Who knew this stupid little skin tag would cause me so much trouble?  Stupid.

***Update: The floss stayed there about a day with nothing happening.  I finally had enough and I pulled the whole thing off.  The floss made it much easier.  No more tag, end of story :)
