| I am beginning to get skin tags on my neck and chest. I know this is common in pregnancy but is there anything you can do? Is it okay to just remove them? |

| I have gotten these too. I asked my dermatologist about removing them and he said it's best to wait until after the pregnancy--not because of any danger to you or the fetus but because you will likely get more and also because some will fall off on their own. And in fact, as gross as it sounds, some of mine have in fact fallen off. Just one of the many exciting adventures in body remodeling that happens with pregnancy. |

I wouldn't get too excited about the possibility of them falling off. I got about a dozen in my first pregnancy and they are still there. Now with my second pregnancy, I have noticed 2 new ones. They are really annoying

| I have them too, particularly in and around my breast and nipple area. Doc tells me to wait and they will likely come off, but I have been impatient and picked a few off. I know I should not do that but I have issues with my skin. |
