Skin Growths Yuck

Michael, on August 12, 2022 at 3:56 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 6

I have the skin growths on my back and around my armpits. I tried years ago to get rid of them but the treatments never worked. Finally I have been trying the salycilic acid treatments (actually for warts) and after months they are disappearing -- most did so weeks ago. (Yes, this stings pretty bad at times.) Well. So far there are maybe acid burn marks and scabbing, but I think those will recover okay.

I know the doctors can do this quicker but I wasn't ready to go that route.

So, this is mostly a success story Smiley amazing

    My sis had really substantial skin tags on her face/neck (thanks to our dads genes) and had them removed by doctors before her wedding, literally just cut 'em right off. They came back anyway Smiley ups I'm curious to see if this solution works long term!

    I'm trying to see what happens later. Sometimes the roots are disappearing, but I have to back away from the treatments to see if any come back. If they do, I can apply the gel again. (The liquid version did not last as long nor seem so effective.)

    I tried to edit the post... but thanks for sharing that info. Maybe it was one of those good times when I skipped going to the doctor for something like this.

    There are still these acid burn areas around the spots. Partly this was from sloppy application and also trying to help the process. (This actually is a wart remover gel some recommended for skin tags.) I have to see how well these fade away.

    Months later, I'm still trying to reduce to nothing a tag on my back. It was the worst one and is almost gone but still not flat to my normal skin yet.

    These got down to near flat level. Maybe they would go away with longer treatment but its better than before.
