Skin tag on mole

Postby Whatsherface » Sun Jan 22, 2012 9:34 pm

Can you get a skin tag on a mole? I have a decent sized mole on my face that I have had since I was very young and I also suffer from skin tags. I think a skin tag has popped up on my facial mole. Is that possible? And if so, can I remove it? I remove all my skin tags myself with finger nail clippers and rubbing alcohol. Never had any problems.

never heard of such a thing but i guess all things are possible. i do not see why you could not remove it like all other skin tags but i have no idea what is going on with you since you need to see a dermatologist in person to make any certain skin diagnoses.
