I have a skin tag on my stomach and it bothers me. Should I cut it off or what?

Thanks.

I have something better than a Becky- advice from commy liberal healthcare:

So apparently small ones can just be cut off. But they warn that you shouldn't try to self-remove large ones, as they'll bleed a lot.

How big is it?

I had small one on the back of my neck, but my parrot decided to take care of it on his own.

I cut off one on my waist that somehow had got it's blood supply cut off (it was right under where my trouser waistband sits so I think that twisted its blood vessels off) and had turned purple-black. There was no blood at all, nor pain as I had applied local anaesthesia with some lidocaine ointment. This was a month ago and there were no complications and it's long since healed.

It's flat and round, about a quarter inch. It's hanging off a very thin strand, 1mm or so. I've had it my whole life as far as I can remember. But its starting to cause dysphoria.

@previous (Metæ)
Dysphoria? Lol
I'd cut it off. Unless it's caused by a rubbing waistband or something like that.

Yes, pls video it though.

Try a pore strip first. Then tweezers.
