Has anyones baby had a skin tag? Bailey has one on her ear. Her DR was going to cut it or tie it off but he said its too thick at the base and he doesnt want to scar her. So he is going to try to find a plastic surgeon or someone to remove it. I would leave it alone but its kinda big and I dont want her being self conscious of it as she gets older. I just dont want it to hurt her when they remove it. I cant stand the thought if her being in pain.

My sister has a skin tag on her ear (always has, she's 36 now). Is it really super noticable? If not, I'd probably leave it alone and call it a birth mark.

Its noticable. Tony calls it her antenna. I will try to snap a pic of it when she wakes up.

My sister's skin tag looks like that flap that covers the hole into your ear, but it looks like she has two instead of just one. If it's something that's going to be really noticeable, just have it removed now. I know the thought of putting a newborn through any kind of pain is almost unthinkable, but they have a really high pain threshold and if it's no risk, just have it taken off now instead of later when she might remember all the bad owies.

Yes I want it removed now while she is really little. This is like the little flap too except it sticks out from her head. It wont lay down or I wouldnt care. Hopefully when she goes back to the DR friday he will have found someone to send her too.
