I usually get a large skin tag in my groin area from friction too...

Wait. I blame FF11 too.
I've had one in my armpit since as long as I can remember. Never knew what it was til now. It's pretty small lol
I had 2-3 on my neck in high school, when I was 5'8" 220. My beautician (har har) burned them off with a soldering iron and some type of drip on local anesthetic.
I'm now 5'11" 177, but my measurements are kinda weird. 42 inches around the shoulders, 30 inch waist, and a 33 inch in-seam for pants.
I don't want to. I'm remarkably healthy. Last week I put on about 7 pounds in a 2 day stretch before a half marathon. I hated all seven of those pounds, god did it feel good burning them off. I have a frame built for doing what I love to do.
Edit: Just did the elbow test, small to medium frame (really damn close) with my height/weight measurements.
Editx2 Someone mentioned my torso length, I'll have to measure that when I get home.
You can usually get them off with a shaving razor. It'll bleed for like a minute akin to how popping a pimple might, then it heals up without a scar. [Although that fucking wikipedia picture messes with my head.]
Oh yeah, just run the razor straight across it as if you were shaving your face normally. It may only get part of the base and start to 'hang', but keep going over it. It's painless.
edit: Oh, unless you get one in a patch of hair. I've only gotten them on the uppermost part of my arms before, so no big deal there
what the shit that's exactly my height and weight
I could each 5 big macs and end up losing weight from the energy it takes eating it. My friends in HS called my stomach the black hole because nobody knew where it all went (I eat a lot). Being skinny is hella fuckin balls to the wall awesome though. I'm basically always in shape, can maneuver around people with ease, and I can drink 5 milkshakes a day if I want.
Pays to have a gf that loves skinny white boys though, just sucks I have to dress emo every halloween or I don't get sexy tiem.
So thats what those things are called, they freak me the hell out. I see so many people with them and I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DONT CUT THEM OFF aslkjahrroi3df
Never heard of these before, sounds awful, and sounds like I could get one. I don't see why you can't just rip it off though
wtf
that looks like a fucking cookie from far away and then you click it and its like OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD
If you look at where they occur, you'll learn why people don't self-treat by excision on these things. Skin/cloth constantly rubbing against the wound/bandage = painful + scar afterwards. So maybe scar >>> having a skin tag but it's not the most trivial of hurdles to clear.
