Skin tags on vagina..

Ever since around my 23rd week of pregnancy my vagina broke out in skintags. It's so strange because I have never had skintags in my life...and now my hooha is covered in them. My OB said that she won't remove them because there's too many of them and that they might come back anyways or they might dissappear on their own after the baby. Did this happen to anyone else? They make me self conscious.. :(

I got two of them with my first pregnancy right by my growing my doctor said when the baby if born they would go away and sure enough they were gone a week after she was born!! I wouldn't cut them or mess with them until after the baby.. More then likely they will disappear on there own!

Skin tags are not like moles but both grow more when your pregnant because of the growth hormones not because of weight gain
much like a pimple if you have a newly developed skin tag that's really tiny you can just pinch it off with your fingernails if its larger some people ty dental floss around it until it dies and falls off

DO NOT cut them off, omg! That just sounds terrible. Plus they will most likely grow back. You have to kill the cells. There is simple skin tag remover that you can buy from wal mart. Do one at a time if you have many, or just a couple. Takes a couple days to work but they won't grow back. Warning, it can hurt, don't try to rip them off, let the gel do the work and they will simply fall off. Fyi it's very normal to get these, dermatologists say it's the hormones.

My mother in law uses a piece of her hair & ties up the skin tag in a little knot & it rips right off .
My mom uses a little bottle that burns it off , iam not sure what it's called tho.

MrsAmy - I have ripped a few of the little ones off lol..icing and snipping sounds like a way better plan though.

Mommy_2 - it's like a little piece of flabby skin the size of a tiny pimple..that's how I would explain it, but google has better descriptions.

Heather- It took me a long time to ask since I'm now 37weeks..lol. I'm going to beg my dr to remove them..at least the bigger ones I have gotten.
