14 Sep 18 - 09:14 PM (#3950538) Subject: BS: Skin Thingies From: Donuel I went to the Dermatologist and had a couple tiny thingies frozen off with a spray can. My mistake was googling every possible expression of the skin. It became an addiction |

15 Sep 18 - 03:32 AM (#3950569) Subject: RE: BS: Skin Thingies From: Joe Offer I had a lot of "skin tags" around my neck (little growths, like warts by not hard). I'm wondering if they were caused by abrasion by my collar of my T-shirt. The dermatologist cauterized them - he burned them with a little electric gadget, and then they fell off leaving no trace. But the gadget he used looked quite old, and I got a shock all the time he was using it. I wondered if I was supposed to be getting that shock. Whatever the case, it worked. I haven't had much luck with surgical mole removal. I think I had three removed, and all of them grew back. -Joe- |

15 Sep 18 - 04:03 AM (#3950575) Subject: RE: BS: Skin Thingies From: Senoufou I have loads of seborrhoeic keratoses all over me. And skin tags. And other sorts of very decorative moles and warts. I must look like a toad. I was sent to the Dermatology dept at the local hospital to have them all looked at, every inch of me, and fortunately there's no melanoma/squamous/basal among them. The lovely Thai specialist (she wore a sort of traditional silk dress) offered to burn/freeze the larger ones off, but I wasn't bothered. She did say I should go back every couple of years to have them examined for any changes. |

15 Sep 18 - 05:45 AM (#3950606) Subject: RE: BS: Skin Thingies From: Senoufou I'm not bothered myself about these things. I suppose I could wear a burka, then no-one would see. Most of them aren't on my face though. Husband has skin like satin. Not fair. So has his mum, and she's ancient. His only mark is when he had a nasty tumbu larva cut out of the top of his leg a couple of years ago. It made a large keloid scar, but another nice skin specialist (an Egyptian lady this time) gave him steroid injections all round the thing and it disappeared like magic. |

15 Sep 18 - 08:41 AM (#3950658) Subject: RE: BS: Skin Thingies From: Donuel keratosis is genetic. It must be a mistake and not an adaptation. I once saw a man whose face was all covered with thousands of skin tags without any space between each 'tag'. If they really bother you there are the treatments you guys have tried. |

15 Sep 18 - 11:24 AM (#3950683) Subject: RE: BS: Skin Thingies From: Backwoodsman My skin tags (mostly on my arms) disappeared when I lost 90 lbs in weight around twelve years ago. I've since put about 20 lbs back on and one or two have reappeared. I had a funny growth on my left ear which made lying on my left painful. About three years ago the dermatology consultant at Donny hospital sprayed it with that freezing stuff, and it disappeared in about a fortnight. It's coming back again now, though not yet as bad as it was. |

15 Sep 18 - 01:53 PM (#3950709) Subject: RE: BS: Skin Thingies From: Senoufou Ouch Steve! That sounds painful. I have a red-haired friend who is very prone to skin cancers. She sees the specialist twice a year and he zaps the things while they're very tiny. I think he uses a laser. She has to use very strong sunscreen and carry an umbrella in the summer, like a Victorian lady with a parasol. Half a dozen elderly people in our village have basal cell carcinomas on their noses or the skin of the scalp at the top of their heads. They've all had them removed, and successfully cured, but as I've spent long periods under the fierce sun of Africa, I keep an eye on my skin. |
