Guest guest Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Toni, stick with me for a minute because you (and others) may find this interesting. Have you always had skin tags? Or is a new development? I have a young (dd) family member who developed skin tags at age 5ish. Her mom didn't know what they were at first and kept plucking them off only to find them literally multiplying. Turns out,they're a type of wart somehow related to the herpes virus - they are pretty typical in kids and are communicable. So off she goes to the doctor who tried to treat them with a topical cream. She can not remember the name of it but apparently, it works by getting absorbed into the bloodstream and taking care of the problem from the inside - out. It did not work (or so she thought) - so they " froze " them off (I suppose much like you would treat a regular wart.). She's fine and beautiful and all her warts are gone to no subsequence except one: Her dd symptoms are all gone. She no longer requires special-ed and is in fact, at the top of her class as far as academics go. Granted, she was receiving speech and ot through school, but I find it amazing that after the weeks of cream treatments, that's when she really started to turn the corner. This is a child who survives on potato chips and chocolate milk and swoosh! just like that - all those developmental delays vanished. By the way, she does have a little sister w/ classic autism traits (no dx yet, but is more severe than her sister ever was). Sometimes I secretly pray the little one will get those warts, too because I honestly believed it helped. Am I crazy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
