    My ex had these on both hands. Chop em off, it's no biggie.

    :o)

    He just has little scars where they were. No problem at all.

    Source(s): rofl... i meant have the doctor do it... you knew that, right!?!?!?

    The doctor usually ties a string of sorts around the lumps and they come off by themselves eventually. Apparently it's pretty common although I don't have direct experience with it.
