Okay, I’m done for awhile. Between snipping some skin tags, and burning others with liquid nitrogen, I think the doctor got pretty the most annoying ones.

I’m done until they come back. 9 months ago

Well, since the last two trips to the dermatologist became all about diagnosing and treating the HPV, I went back yesterday solely for the skin tags on my face, neck, and shoulders.

In the past most doctors have used liquid nitrogen to “freeze” them off, but this guy just used rubbing alcohol and tiny scissors and just snipped ‘em off.

Kinda stung, but wasn’t really too bad.

He only wanted to do around 15 or so (i have a bunch), to see if my insurance company would pay for them before we do too many. He’s concerned that they won’t pay for it because for the most part it’s a “cosmetic” issue.

So we’ll see how the insurance company responds, and then decide whether I’m going back to get some more removed.

This morning, it was nice to look in the mirror and NOT see the skin tags. There is one spot over my right eyelid that is kinda scabbed up, but it’s not too bad. The rest of them, you can’t even tell where they were. 12 months ago

Have an appointment made for the morning on Monday April 30th.

This is mainly a cosmetic issue, but I found something that has me concerned, which prompted me to stop putting this off. 12 months ago
