Q: Skin tag shaved
asked by: DVSMP on July 27th, 2009

I had a skin tag right below my waist line. It was not very big so I decided I was going to pull it off... Well I pulled pretty hard but it did not come off so I took my razor and shaved it smooth off. It bleed for a bit then stopped. The next day there was just a small red circle where the skin tag used to be. A couple days later its gets a lot bigger and kinda hard. I am thinking it just part of the healing process so whatever. a week later its a huge red lump running horizontally across my waist about an inch or so and its pretty sore to the touch. also the skin is peeling off where the skin tag used to be. Presently its even bigger. and a bit more painful. Any advice would be helpful and if a picture would help ill gladly send one just leave your email address. Thanks in advance

Get to a doctor and have this checked out...You could have an infection...

It does sound like it's infected. It's time to visit the doctor, maybe a dermatologist.
