Hi everyone,
I have not been on this forum for over two years now! I was doing such better UNTIL COVID-19 hit. It set me back a bit. I finally landed my first teaching job (Kindergarten) this year, which turned into remote learning. It was stressful for both teachers and parents. Anyway, I convinced my husband to cut off my skin tag with a brand new sterilized razor blade. It was one of the skin tags that had a long stalk and just stuck out. It was annoying and i was impatient. We used rubbing alcohol and used ice to numb it. He pulled it up with string and then sliced it with a razor blade. It didn't hurt at all and it's gone now. BUT, it was bleeding profusely and I freaked out (not as much as usual though). It's right on my neck so I applied pressure for a few minutes, then put on a band aid. Unfortunately, blood trickled out of the bandaid. Fast forward a bit, and a find this item at my house called wound seal. You sprinkle some of it on your cut and apply pressure for thirty seconds and it stops the bleeding. I'm tempted to pick at it, so I just covered it with a band aid. The removal left a tiny round spot (like a freckle). The blood worried me. Would it have eventually stopped if I had just applied pressure? Has anyone done anything stupid like this, or is it just me? I'm worried about bleeding again!
Thanks,
Sara
