I do on my neck and nips but they fall off. If not I Take a piece of hair and knot it around them until they fall off it doesn't hurt me.

Couldn't tell ya, I would think It would! I wouldn't wanna try to do It and cut off my nipple If I slipped! Lol wouldn't be good...I know I was reading somewhere If you tie a string around It you can cut off the circulation and It'll fall off. Bleh. I wouldn't wanna do neither!

During pregnancy, your increased hormone levels cause hyperactive growth of a superficial skin layer. This layer of skin is very easily irritated and pulled loose, which is what causes the skin tags.

Gross, cuttin' them off with scissors? Sounds painful! (It's In the article, lol) They really are annoying though.

A derm can freeze them off even when you're pregnant if they bug you that much.
