I had so many skin tags everywhere during pregnancy. They started popping up around 25 weeks for me and they were gone within 6 weeks pp! I honestly just left them be and they eventually went away.
Yes I had one appear on my tummy and under my arm. I’m ignoring them!
@MK same
Mine appeared after giving birth 😭. i tried to rip one off and it hurts, so now hoping it falls off itself.
hmm, yeah, skin tags can pop up during pregnancy, but ripping it off might not be the best idea, tbh! Just looked it up on the 'Heal Baby Care App' and here's what it says: "It's not uncommon to develop skin tags during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and skin stretching. Ripping it off can lead to irritation or infection, so it's important to keep the area clean and monitor for any signs of redness or swelling. If you're concerned about the skin tag or if it doesn't heal properly, consider reaching out to a healthcare provider for advice. Have you noticed any other changes in your skin or body during your pregnancy?
I’m 33 weeks currently and I’m starting to get a few myself! I had one pop up a whiiiiile back like idk 20 weeks and I ripped it off thinking it wasn’t one and it was 😭😭🥲🥲 I’ve never had skin tags before my pregnancy but I heard they’re common during pregnancy if they pop up and typically go away after birth!!
