I Thought They Are Warts!

At the end part of my second trimester, I noticed I had been developing certain skin bumps on my neck. I asked my husband if this looked gross to him and he said it is normal as his mom got it and I am sure I also have seen my mother have ones on her neck and some on her arms.

But I was not used to feeling any bumps on my neck so I checked it further and it looked like warts to me. I was a little worried about it but I believe it is just because of pregnancy hormones. I never had one and I didn’t expect this to show as well at this point of time but, since I am not going to just let it grow and increase in number by themselves, I made a research on warts during pregnancy.

Guess what? I learned they aren’t called warts but skin tags! Okay, so they are indeed benign so nothing to worry and based on the videos and articles I had read, they may fall off by themselves after pregnancy else I have to do something to take them off but I can worry about that after pregnancy instead.

Anyway, I don’t really like the feeling of bumps on my neck, these bumps are really small and they aren’t itchy at all. They are harmless too as per my research so I searched on the simple home remedies for this and found that apple cider vinegar is good at this.

I am starting to dab some ACV today and will update you on the progress soon.

Let me know if you also have your own share of skin tags story.
