What It Treats
Skin tags are usually found in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, such as:
Though considered harmless, skin tags can become irritated by friction or catch on clothing, which is why many people choose to remove them for cosmetic and comfort reasons.
Understanding Skin Tags
Skin tags are tiny, soft growths that hang off the skin by a thin stalk. They are composed of skin cells, collagen, and blood vessels. While they can appear anywhere on the body, they are most common in areas with frequent friction. Skin tags tend to grow more frequently as we age, and some people are genetically predisposed to developing them.
Factors contributing to skin tag formation include:
- Friction: Repeated rubbing of skin against skin or clothing increases the likelihood of skin tags.
- Genetics: Some people are more likely to develop skin tags based on their family history.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy or other hormonal changes can contribute to skin tag development.
- Obesity: Excess skin folds due to weight gain can increase friction, leading to the formation of skin tags.
