    I got them last pregnancy and this time too. Mostly on my neck area. Teeny tiny ones and when I noticed one has popped up I rip it off myself hehe. I would say you prob need a dr to remove yours considering they're in a really sensitive spot.

    OMG, my hubby has heaps of these. I didn't know eucalypt oil could work - not too sure he'd be keen on me 'tying them off'. I'm going to attack him with the eucalypt oil this weekend!! LOL

    I have one on my inner thigh which I reckon I could get some cotton around. I'm worried thought that if I tie the cotton on and it doesn't fall off I'll be stuck with cotton tied to my inner thigh??!! How long will it take to fall off?

    Oooh I should update. I had mine burnt. Was uncomfortable but not as bad as I thought it would be, I guess because they are small they are going to be a little icky. Although when you have tags there, you kinda want them off no matter what! They seem to have mostly fallen off, some seem smaller (like the top off) but she said it needs a second go usually between 1-2 weeks. I will have to wait til I go back to Melbourne, not fond of the doctors here. At least they are smaller - not like they are huge anyway.

    Thanks for update, I have heaps of them around my bra line area and under my arms, I hate them.
    I pinch off the little ones but they do bleed excessively, had tied some off in the past as well, most of mine now are too flat or big so I will be off to the Drs at some point, they irritate cos bras rub on them.

    I still get them 19 months post birth! I've just left them well alone but will get some eucalyptus oil onto them and see how I go.
