they're really easy to remove. your doctor will tie them off with stitching wire and they eventually fall off x
edit: do not attempt to remove them yourself with scissors or toenail clippers! you could end up with cellulitis and nasty scars - go to your doctor x
go to your dermotologist of family dr, either one will remove them for you
My hubby had them and the dr. told him to take scissors and cut them off himself. Ewwww.
You can do it yourself with toenail clippers, be sure to use rubbing alcohol so it doesn't get infected.
Just pull those kids off with tweezers. Sure it might hurt a little and bleed, but hey, they are gone in an instant.
when i was a kid, my friend tied a string around one thereby strangling it & it fell off a day or two later. i'm not even joking.
Try getting an appointment with your doctor. They will (at least one method is to) wrap a strand of hair around one and this should get rid of it. This seems quite effective.
You can have a dermatologist do it; but my dermatologist said for me to just use clippers or small scissors and snip them off. If they are undersized, the dermatologist can't remove them.
If they are thin enough you can just pinch it off yourself. If it is thicker I would go to the doctor.
Lots of ideas to choose from here, huh?
If you cut them off yourself, they will bleed and bleed..and it hurts..
try putting clear nail polish on them..let it dry & re-apply before bedtime.
it worked for me
good luck
They should be removed by a doctor because they may bleed when removed. He can snip them off under local anesthetic, or burn them off with liquid nitrogen or electrocautery.
