Re: Severe cramps, acne, fat, etcFrom: Nicole (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 13 Nov 2002 13:10:30 -0600 (CST)
Hi Faith- Yes! Skin tags!!!!!!!!! I hate them and since I got pregnant this last time they are everywhere. It is embarassing to say the least. I was talking to a friend and told her about them and she was like "Yeah I know, I saw them along time ago." Ifelt like people are looking at me and grossing out and not saying it to me. Well why would they, but it hit me. Now, I kind of keep to myaself and only hang out with one friend. I don't feel confident to get back to work either, I am a hair stylist by trade, and a darn good one. But I feel my appearance isn't what is to be expected and have lost my confidence in front of people. Over weight, acne, skin tags, a little extra hair, need I say more. Not qite the hairstylist look. Well, I am working on it in my own way, but I think I need to look for a little more help. Thanks for your reply to my earlier posting. Good luck!
