Is it safe to have skin tages removed when pregnant?

I am 35 weeks pregnant and have grown a huge painful skin tage on my collar bone and I have an appointment on Monday to have it removed. The doctors office said it was safe, but I am wondering of anyone else had any skin tags or moles removed when pregnant? Thanks

Yep, no prob!
Reply:The office says it is safe but what does your ob/gyn or midwife say...if all else fails and you have any doubt in your mind trust your gut as a mommy congratulations
Reply:Perfectly safe, it's a minor procedure.
Reply:Yep, I had one skin tag and two moles removed last month - no problems at all.





They just injected a bit of Novocaine right on the spot, cut, cauterized, I had to keep a band-aid and neosporin on 'em for about a week - and they're healing up nicely.

Reply:i worked for a dermatologist office for a few years and still go there.....i wanted a skin tag and mole removed and the doc wouldnt do it until after i have the baby....so although they can do it theres always the chance of complications from the numbing down to the procedure.....good luck!
Reply:Im just as far as you and I have one skin tag right on each side of my breasts near my underarms. I'm not going to get them removed anytime soon though. Why try and get it removed when im not sure if they will reappear or have more buddies to bring? It'd be like pulling out a gray hair and having 5 more pop up in it's place the next day.
Reply:You can get rid of the skin tag by yourself. All you have to do is put Hydrogen Peroxide on a cotton ball, put the cotton ball on the skin tag and then cover with a band-aid. If you do this for about 5 days or so, it will dry up and fall off!!! It works--I had a couple of them and this is how I got rid of them!!
Reply:Yes it is perfectly safe. No medication is used for this procedure and it can be done right in the office. My husband asked the doctor about a couple he had on his neck at one of my son's appointments and she said she could take care of them right then if he wanted. He was scared at first but while she was getting the stuff she needed I told him exactly what would happen (I work in the medical field). She came back in and used a pair of tweezers and straight mayo's and cut them off. She had him hold some gauze on for a second and that was it.
