<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I don't have any advice for you about
what to do about the existing ones, but there may be something to
ask your vet about as far as the cause of them. I don't know if
it's true for dogs, but in humans skin tags can be a sign of
diabetes. It might be something to test for.<br>
<br>
Also, if your vet is aware that Lexi is scratching them so badly
that they're bleeding, and he or she still says to just ignore it,
you might consider looking for another vet. Open wounds,
regardless of the cause, are not something to ignore - they're the
first step to infection. Any good vet would tell you that.<br>

<div>Lexi had a skin tag removed from her chin a few months
ago...they put her in a "twilight" state to remove it. All
went well....the only reason why I had it removed is because
it was in her chin area and she would scratch it and it grew.
Now, there are THREE more growing in about the same place.
She is scratching and making them bleed. On top of her
allergies and a health issue (not major...just costly!) I am
facing for myself, I am very very stressed....what to do about
the skin tags...........again? Has anyone had this
experience? What did you do? I already called the vet and
they told me to just leave it alone...I cant help but worry
though. <br>
