me and my husband. But I only do it while they are tiny and the base is narrow. If they are large and the base is wide, then it would bleed quite a bit more.

I heard you can use Liquid Bandaid on them. Just keep putting it on once or twice a day and they supposedly dry up and fall off or something. Haven't tried it yet, but I did get some for DH's bigger ones.
