All has been well since, not grown back or anything.
Talking of plasters - my daughter put a blister plaster on her foot today because some sandals were rubbing. Tonight she pulled it off and it pulled a patch of skin off with it
. I mean, she didn't even have a blister to begin with, but she thought the plaster would stop the shoe rubbing. Now it's gonna hurt even more when it rubs!

Might be an idea to buy the 'Sensitive' plasters?
Even so, I'd still change it every couple of days, to keep an eye on what's going on underneath.

But they're not on stalks, they're flat, or just a bit raised.
I also have a lot of moles that are moles.

Yes I think you're right there Mups. I might try to pick her some up today and drop them round. She's just had a new pair of shoes delivered to my house today (cos she's never in for deliveries), so she'll very likely be needing them!

Re: Skin tags
I had a couple on my neck Sheba, I stretched them out between my thumb and forefinger and cut them off with scissors....The pain was excruciating but you can't stick it back on and it was soon over and done with...Bled a lot too...But they haven't come back.....They wouldn't dare!
