How were they removed blessedatlast? Did it hurt?
OK, so I'm not BAL but ... my GP removed mine with a cauterizing (spl?) scalple thingy. I was given a local first to ensure the area was numb, and as the tags were removed the scalple thingy also sealed them. Afterwards it just looked like a teeny tiny red burn mark which disappeared after a few days. Afterwards it didn't hurt, though I guess it felt like a tiny burn mark would feel. It certainly didn't bother me though.

TBH, the worst of it was having the local anaesthetic.
