Skin tag in eyelashes

[wee quinnie]

Got my baby sister to stay at the moment....anyways to cut a long story short, she has a skin tag on the edge of her eyelid (in the position of where you might get a stye). Question is, does anyone have any ideas how to remove it?

We've tried tying it up with cotton but we are finding it too tricky.

Many GPs do this kind of thing in-house...if not, they can refer you.

Sterilize a small pair of nail clippers, the type that has a lever on the top.

Hold a cube of ice to the eyelash first this will slow the circulation and stop any pain.

It will bleed as soon as it's been nipped off, so be prepared with something clean soft and absorbant.

Have a drink, you've earned it.

Darling wee quinnie,

don't touch it. As ladymuck says, many GPs do this in house and if not, they will refer you on. There is a danger of damaging her eye and it is just not worth it sweetie!
