Skin Tags
Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are small, soft, benign growths that often develop in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, eyelids, groin, and under the breasts. While they are generally harmless, skin tags can sometimes become irritated due to friction with clothing or jewelry, leading to discomfort or even minor inflammation. Although they are not cancerous and usually do not require treatment, many people choose to have them removed for aesthetic reasons or to improve comfort.
Causes of Skin Tags
Skin tags are commonly associated with:
- Genetics: A family history of skin tags can increase the likelihood of developing them.
- Age: They are more prevalent in middle-aged and older adults.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, hormonal shifts, and insulin resistance can contribute to their formation.
- Skin Friction: Frequent skin-to-skin or skin-to-clothing friction can lead to skin tags, which is why they often appear in areas with more friction.
Are Skin Tags Harmful?
While skin tags are benign and painless, they can cause minor irritation, especially in areas prone to friction. They do not pose any health risk, but they may occasionally be mistaken for other skin conditions, so it is essential to consult with a dermatologist if you notice any changes in size, color, or texture.
