Skin tag removal on our baby

Several times a month, I receive emails from parents all over the world about Grant's skin tags. The internet can be such a great thing, as it as enabled me to connect with other parents who are experiencing the same thing we have with Grant. 

So Grant was born with 5 skin tags on his face and ears. His skin tags are due to him having Goldenhar Syndrome. Skin tags can be indicative of hearing loss/deafness and/or kidney problems. He is not deaf, but we do have to re-test for hearing loss. He had a VCUG at 3 months to determine if he has reflux when he urinates-he did not! We do have to redo the VCUG again next week. Pray for no reflux!

Two very loosely attached tags were on one ear, he had a very attached tag on his cheek and other ear, and a loosely attached tag on his other cheek.







At 2 days shy of 3 months old, a plastic surgeon at Children's Hospital removed all 5 skin tags from Grant's face. It was fairly noninvasive (the ear tag that was attached took a bit more time and effort, and the surgeon had to be more careful to remove the very attached tag on his cheek to avoid much scarring). 

The recovery was great and the stitches were out in about 2 weeks. Although he was still our same sweet baby, he looked much different to us 1 week post-op!



And now, here we are almost 5 months later, and our sweet boy's face is still healing. There is significant scar tissue on one of his ears, and we just started scar tissue massage this week (per our Craniofacial Ped's instructions).
I snapped these after lunch today and so you'll have to excuse the sweet potatoes that are ALL over his face! :)

  12. First of all I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Thank you!

  25. Simply because Facebook or myspace is a brand new occurrence, there aren't any clear-cut
    solutions to crack that. While you never find out what kinds of loggers might have
    to retain important computer data, always make it a point to prevent any transactions
    on any computer apart from your own, or that of someone you trust.
    Sony will need to analyze and fix their security systems from the ground up,
    and for every server, website, and database they have in their organization.

  29. I came across your post after googling baby born with skin tags. My son born Dec 2008 was born with a skin tag on his cheek and by each ear looking exactly like your sons! I've never met or came across anyone with anything similar. They never came to any conclusion about what it was caused by. He had them removed at 6 months and only has small scars left. He was also born with an external ear deformity...again, no cause. Everything ruled cosmetic. Just in awe to find another handsome boy similar to mine.

  30. I’m here to testify about what Dr James  did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and itching, especially in my private part. During the first year.This disease started circulating all over my body and  I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir, and some other products and it really helped during my outbreaks but I totally got cured! from my HSV with a strong and active herbal medicine ordered from  Dr James herbal mix and it completely fought the virus from my nervous system and I was tested negative after 15 days of using  Dr James  herbal medicine. I'm here to let y'all know that herpes virus has a complete cure, I got rid of mine with the help of Dr James herbal medicine.  I came across a testimony of Kasha, on the internet testifying about Dr James , on how he cured Her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of Dr James... [drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com]..., advising anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help with, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I'm going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him. I have faith he can cure me too,, Dr James prepared and sent me his herbal medicine made of  roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after 15 days I drank his herbal medicine, I was totally cured. no more itching , pain on me anymore as Dr James assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test. the result came out negative. So friends my advice is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like Bipolar disorder, Shingles,  HPV, HBV, HIV/AIDS, ALS, HBP, CANCER,NEPHROTIC SYNDROME HIV / AIDS, herpes cancer,Ovarian Cancer,Pancreatic cancers, bladder cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Autism,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease,psoriasis ,Tach Diseases,Lupus,Backache,dementia.kidney cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, skin cancer and skin cancer.testicular Cancer, , LEUKEMIA, VIRUSES, HEPATITIS, INFERTILITY .  , etc. you can contact Dr James directly on his.... [drjamesherbalmix@gamil.com]...  He is a good man,and He will help you.
