[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 299799, member: 3419"] Klmno, I just looked up an article on skin tags (I've had a few removed) and it says they can turn brown due to hormones. If you're pregnant or going through menopause, that could be your culprit. I don't like just having one removed because as you said, it's expensive, so I save up my $ and my skin issues and have a bunch of stuff removed every 3 yrs or so at the dermatologist. I do have ins, which pd for my most recent visit, and the dr froze a pre-cancerous scab next to my eyebrow and did not charge me for it. She usually throws in one "freebie." I would use a dermatologist instead of a GP, due to experience and training. As Chris suggested, you may be able to find a free clinic, or call the dermatologist's ofc and ask if they have a sliding fee scale. They're usually willing to work with-people. It's definitely worth a phonecall to find out. [/QUOTE]
