I HAVE A SKIN TAG ON MY TESTICULAR SAC

My dermatologist confirmed it’s benign. She said sometimes people tie a string around the tag and it will shrivel and fall off but it’s way too little for that shit.

But I hate it! Is there some way I can get rid of it?

by Anonymousreply 69April 12, 2019 4:00 AM

Sterilize cuticle scissors and cut it off. I did that to one. Didn’t hurt more than plucking eyebrows.

Tape a firecracker to it. Then light it.

THAT FUCKING HUUUURRRT!!!! Oh wait...did you mean cut off the skin tag?? Oops.

Why didn't your dermatologist remove it?

by Anonymousreply 4April 11, 2019 2:45 AM

Apply tea tree oil daily until it shrivels up and falls off. Do not get any in your urethra.

Odd.

Anyhow, purchase some Tag Away, or whatever it’s called, on Amazon.

I had a small one once on my ballsack and was a bit worried at first wondering if it was HPV or something along those lines. My doctor said that it was just a skin tag and quite common. I went home and snipped it off with toe nail clippers. There was a tiny amount of blood, I rubbed some Neosporin on the area and forgot about it. Never had one since. I would recommend getting it cut off before it becomes larger (or the DIY method if you are up to it).

They don't get larger. And yeah, your dermo was an idiot for not removing it. Unless you were just cheap when they told you insurance wouldn't cover it.

by Anonymousreply 10April 11, 2019 3:16 AM

Don’t tie string around it. Use dental floss; tie a tight knot as close to the skin as possible. Trim away extra floss, but leave a short segment so it doesn’t become untied. Leave it alone for a few days and it will all fall off when it’s ready.

What R11 said.

by Anonymousreply 12April 11, 2019 3:22 AM

R10, my doctor said that they do not grow larger once they are fully formed (whatever that means). I have friends who have large ones (usually on their necks). Rather than waiting to see how large "fully formed" was - I snipped mine. My doctor did not give the option to cut it off; he said it was benign and would cause no issues on my ball sack. That said, I snipped it off myself - problem solved.

Interesting, R13. I've had them on my neck and I tell my dermo- oh, they irritate me when they rub against my shirt collar, and that's enough to have him snip them off (or freeze them off). Really, they just look for a reason to be able to claim it for insurance.

She never offered to cut it off. If I do it won’t grow back?

I read somewhere that taking care of it yourself on the genitalia is a bad idea.

by Anonymousreply 17April 11, 2019 3:39 AM

OMG, I have the same thing. It's on the underside of my scrotum, on the right side but near the back of the sac--and it's so goddamn itchy all the time. I'm thinking that the next time I have a dermatologist appointment, I would like to ask him to freeze/burn it off with liquid nitrogen as awkward as that might be to even ask.

But because the skin tag can get so itchy sometimes, I was thinking of clipping it off with my nail clippers. However, I'm afraid it would bleed profusely. I have cut my sac on the rare occasion when I have shaved my balls, and trust me, your sac does not clot very easily and bleeds like a motherfucker for a long time before you can even get dressed.

Help! The skin tag is too small to tie a string around it, but dammit it is a big problem.

by Anonymousreply 18April 11, 2019 4:08 AM

R18 are you sure it’s a skin tag and not a little cyst? If you’re sure it’s a skin tag, just snip it. If it’s a cyst, it’ll pop eventually and go away,

Tea tree oil stinks to high hell. It's got a really strong medicinal smell. I tried it in the form of a foot cream, and it was embarrassing to go to work, because the odor was clearly noticeable.

Maybe there's new information I'm not aware of, but last I checked, tea tree oil had been confirmed as a hormone disruptor with estrogen-like activity and anti-testosterone effects. I wouldn't put it anywhere near that part of my body.

I'd use an alcohol wipe and sterilized cuticle scissors. If it actually bleeds, I'd put on a dab of neosporin.

by Anonymousreply 34April 11, 2019 7:28 AM

Sterilize nail clippers and clip off skin tag at skinline. The pinching action of clippers will pinch the wound closed. A drop of superglue or medical wound glue (if available) will seal it closed or reinforce closure with tape or butterfly strip. Of course, the safest thing is to leave it to the doctor but it would be unusual for disastrous complications to ensue from a tiny, superficial wound. Infection is probably the worst possibility so a dab of antibiotic cream or ointment is helpful.

The dental floss tying-off method is probably easier and more foolproof, tbh—no bleeding or infections. But I cut off a skin tag with clippers once and it was quick and easy and healed quickly.

I wouldn't do anything with a skin tag without a dermatologist.

They can numb the site and make sure it seals/heals correctly.

Not any more. They have to be sent to pathology and if they’re not malignant or infected, insurance won’t oay.

I was quoted $300 for one skin tag. Never went back. Tried corn/callus remover, tried freezing with wart medication....nothing got rid of them. I’ve got tons of them. My family are all mole-y and skin taggy and senile keratosis formers. I think we’re not 100% white.

I found a maggot and carefully put it on my scrotal skin tag (SST) and soon he had eaten it down to its root. Then he very politely stopped, and looked at me, awaiting extraction. I said, "since you're down there" ... and he did me a favor for five bucks.
