SYMPTOMS

Skin Tags are usually having spots. The majority of skin tags are painless and do not manifest themselves in any way.

However, if they come into contact with clothing or jewellery, they may become irritated and bleed. There should be some preventive measures to avoid such happenings.

CAUSES OF SKIN TAGS

Skin tags are formed when extra cells proliferate in the uppermost layers of the skin.

They are more frequent in people who are overweight and therefore have folds of skin, as they tend to grow when the skin scrapes against the skin around the body.

Acrochordons are formed when the body develops an excessive number of cells in the top layers of the skin.

They are more likely to occur in skin creases and locations where natural movement causes the skin to brush against the skin around it.

They develop in both men and women, and they are more common in older persons and people who have type 2 of diabetes than in the general population.

 

TREATMENT

Skin tags can be readily removed by burning or freezing them off in a manner similar to how warts are removed.

 A surgical procedure, sometimes with the use of local anesthesia, can be used to remove them. Skin tags that have been frozen or burned may cause irritation and transient skin discoloration

In certain cases, the skin tag may not break out and more treatment may be required. Skin tag removal can be performed through the use of a variety of different techniques.

Among the most often utilized methods is cry therapy, in which a clinician, generally a dermatologist, uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin tag off the body.

It is also possible to remove a skin tag using electro cautery, which involves the use of an electric probe or needle to burn the tag off.

Over-the-counter treatments like skin tag removal kits are also available, but should be used with caution.
