What's the rubric for "skin tags", or some sort of little raised thingie
that isn't a wart or a tumor???

Shannon

The Papiloma virus nosode will eliminate those.

Thanks, Alva,
Actually I'm trying to use it toward remedy selection, as it's not part of
the chief complaint, but thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
Cheers,
Shannon

Shannon,
I think you'll find that describes it. You can also look at
pedunculated

SKIN - EXCRESCENCES - condylomata - pediculated (an error of spelling it
seems)
SKIN - WARTS - pedunculated
SKIN - WARTS - thin epidermis; with
SKIN - WARTS - filiform

Is everyone talking about the same thing when they say "skin tags?" I was
always taught they were a form of small benign tumor -- a lipoma, in effect.
This would not be a wart, although I can see where certain warts might also
be called "skin tags."

Interesting.... Rosemary

Hi Rosemary
I think you'll find that the term is used both for the virus
aetiology and any round protuberance on a plant or animal - and in the case
of our reps, I would suspect this to be the case, seeing as there was no way
to distinguish between these in those days.

skin tag
A polypoid outgrowth of both epidermis and dermal fibrovascular tissue,
common terminology for any small benign cutaneous lesion.

Synonym: acrochordon, fibroepithelial polyp, fibroma molle, senile fibroma,
soft wart.

One of the things I've had in mind does fit the term "filiform" ("wormlike",
if I remember right?); another seems more like what Rosemary describes, tho
I don't actually know what it is. Maybe just one of the "lumps and bumps"
of sycotic miasm (and thuja is one of the rxs I'm considering for this
person).

In any case it's always valuable seeing rubrics I'd forgotten all about!
