I just went to the doc today and had this skin tag on my thumb deep tissue frozen with liquid nitrogen.
Fucking hurts like a BITCH :(
It's been cut off 4 times before but keeps coming back. I have fuckedup genes for my left thumb.
 
i had a "thing" frozen off the outside if my lower lip. yeah. it fucking hurts.
 
How long til it grows back and retaliates?

Last time it was cut off, the surgeon didn't use a scalpel - he used a bladed 'scoop' type thing and went down almost to bone.
It grew back within 8 weeks.
So, unless my entire thumb is removed Bert-style, I figure I have a couple of months, tops.

Well then, why fight the inner self?

I wasn't going to.
I had got to the point where my extra bit of skin and I were coming to an understanding.
But I had to take the kidlet to the doc today (he needs his tonsils out) and my doc was all 'Let's have another go at that thumb, hey!', and I was like 'Fuck it, I've had enough', and he was like 'Don't be such a baby, come on', and next thing I know, he's creating agony with a long q-tip and a small vial of fizzing nitrogen.
I think I hate him :(

Next time tell him he's failed at aborting your out-coming twin.

Watch his face when you say it.

If it had teeth and hair, it would be interesting!
But no.... my stupid little skin tag is just a nub of boring skin.
Seriously, hasn't evolution had enough time to screw up my genetics in some kind of super-cool way?

He won't know if it had teeth or hair.

Just watch his reaction for the satisfaction.

He's an Egyptian-born, German-trained doctor.
He has one expression - superiority.
If he wasn't such a good doctor, I'd go somewhere else.
Not to mention.... he is fucking GORGEOUS, and has the sexiest mixed accent!

Yuh - Superiority.

Figures.

Then it sounds as though you'll be at this until until either he gives up or he says it's time to remove the entire thumb. But don't worry, you can just hit the space bar with the other thumb.

Heh - I can't help it if my PCP is a sexGod, and my care is free ;)

But no, if this doesn't work, the next step is a plastic surgeon. Something to do with the skin tag being right over a nerve and a tendon, which is why we've been conservative so far.

It's been 2 1/2 hours since the freezing, and I am now a lovely shade of purple.

Free healthcare? Your doctor shows up everyday because he has no where else to go?

I'm sure with careful accessorizing, no one will ever notice your new thumb color. Maybe you can get a lampshade for it.

I'm in Australia - I pay a 1.5% levy on my tax every year to have my GP available :)

I'm heading toward indigo - and I hate blue shades!
 
You have a doctor with a superiority complex? I thought all of them were here in America.

And another vote for "might as well just cut the thumb off." Hey, where is the poll?
