Lisa Amir asks if there is any alternative to removal of the skin. I don't
know of any long-term if popping/soaking/ etc does not keep the pore open.  I
heard that high levels of saturated fat in mom's diet might exacerbate this
problem, and moms who tend to grow skin tags are more susceptible. Haven't
found anything written AT ALL.

I wish someone would do some real research on this issue. It's not documented
anywhere except that BF Review article, which is hard to get outside
Australia. The closest thing to "documentation" is the photo in the
Riordan/Auerbach text.

Anyone know of any research on this, possibly from outside the BF world?  I
had one of these too - hurt like h**L till it opened.
