    Skin tags in pregnancy

    Hi,

    I'm 38 weeks and a skin tag has grown in my mouth! I had it cut off 3 weeks ago but now it is back! It's so annoying it's just inside my mouth but is growing soooo quick!!!

    Do they go away after pregnancy????
    I don't want to get this one cut off till after the baby as I don't want to b in labour with stitches in my mouth!!!
    Unless anyone knows another way to get rid of them that doesn't involve cutting them off????

    Thanks

    hun, that sounds horrible! I have never gotten skin tags personally, but i know a few of my friends have and they do go away after pregnancy. That would be so annoying though, in your mouth! Good luck and hope you have a fantastic birth! Not long now xxxxxxxxxx

    I had skin tags around my arm pits and they have gone now. An obstetrician said they are very prevalent in pregnancy with all the extra hormones.

    Mine didn't go after pg and I will have to have them chopped off. None in my mouth though.

    ive had one come up on my belly & a couple on my areola, i had one removed off my nipple a couple of times but its coming back again.. ive heard that they go away afterward but ive also heard they can stay.. as nickle said..

    the skin tag on my nipple was removed the first time with tying "string" around it until it went black & fell off, it grew back again so they removed it by freezing it off.. im not sure if freezing would be an option if its inside your mouth though?? maybe ask about the string thing?

    Mine disappeared after my babies arrived - I didn't touch them while pregnant and they just seemed to die and fall off afterwards.
