Skin flaps or Skin patches.. whatever you call them!

Does anyone have skin flaps? I read in this pregnancy book how some ladies can get these on eyelids and under arms.. well I am now one of the "lucky" few!  
I have one under my eyelid...its not noticable to others but it's driving me crazy just knowing it is there!!!
I just found a new one under my arm...
I heard that these can be removed? Has anyone removed these? Just want some info...thanks ladies!  

My hubby has a few. They can be removed, but for some people they are scar tissue that kept growing, so they may come back. They just give you a local, snip it off and close you up. (depending on how big it is and such.) Hubby hates the ones on his neck but is so afraid of needles refuses to do anything about it lol

I have a really pretty one on my eyelid too. I hate it. My husband made the mistake of pointing it out this morning. LIKE I NEEDED THAT! I cover it up with liquid eyeliner and you can't tell.My OBsaid it should shrink back after I give birth, my eye doctor said if it didn't go away they can remove it in an in-office procedure, very simple (so says the doctor)

haha I cover mine up with eyeliner too!! I hope your OB is right.. I hate anything going near my eyes...LOL and I wear contacts!

My mom had skin tags after PG.. ha, and one time my brother had one around his armpit and he thought it was really annoying/ugly that he snipped it off with a pair of fingernail clippers =S.

I got them around my bikini line   They have gotten much smaller and lighter since having my little man but are still there. I am going to have them removed once I can afford it (insurance doesn't cover it) Oh and they swelled up really big when my son was like 2 weeks old from all the crazy hormones, but only for a few days.

OUCH!! Did it get infected when he did that?
I wonder why some of us get them during pregnancy and others don't...

Cause god has a cruel sense of humor!

Yea I got them b4 pregnancy, I have had one on my bikini line for awhile now and I have tried to cut it but it hurts to, But I had one under my armpit like 2 years ago and I cut it off with scissors cause I couldnt feel it and it went away and never grew back but I still have the one on my bikini line and it hurts too bad to try to cut it off myself but no I never got any from being preggo!

Nope, he just washed it with antibacterial soap and put neosporin on it until it healed, not that I'm suggesting a DIY session with the nail clippers lol.

I got them under my armpit area and I have like a little one on my forarm...almost looks like what a wart would but it's a little bigger then that...I am hoping they shrink after my lil man is born...but I dunno....if not I will have a dermatologist remove it eventually
