What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags (acrochordons) are soft, skin-colored or slightly pigmented growths. They typically occur in areas of friction or skin folds, such as:

• Neck
• Eyelids
• Armpits
• Under the breasts
• Groin

Though benign, they can become irritated or cause cosmetic concerns, especially in visible or sensitive areas.

Causes & Risk Factors for Skin Tags

Skin tags may develop due to several contributing factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and underlying health conditions:

• Friction or Rubbing
  Skin tags often appear in areas where there is regular skin-to-skin contact or friction from clothing—such as the neck, underarms, groin, and under the breasts.
• Genetics
  A family history of skin tags increases your likelihood of developing them.
• Aging
  Skin tags become more common after the age of 40, as skin elasticity changes and folds become more prominent.
• Hormonal Changes
  Hormonal fluctuations—especially during pregnancy or due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)—can increase the likelihood of developing skin tags.
• PCOS is a hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, often linked to irregular menstrual cycles, acne, and weight gain. It can cause insulin resistance and elevated hormone levels, which may lead to the growth of skin tags, especially in areas with friction.
• Obesity or Metabolic Conditions
  Excess body weight and metabolic disorders like diabetes are associated with increased skin friction and insulin resistance—both of which can contribute to skin tag formation.

How Skin Tag Removal Works

1. Step 1: Dermatological Consultation
   We begin with a skin assessment to confirm the growth is a skin tag (not a mole or wart), then recommend the most appropriate removal method.
2. Step 2: Treatment Options
   
   • Cryotherapy – Freezes the tag; it falls off naturally in 1–2 weeks
   • Cauterization – Heat treatment that removes the tag and prevents regrowth
   • Excision – Tag is precisely cut off at the base
   • Laser Removal – Minimally invasive and ideal for facial areas
3. Step 3: Aftercare
   Post-removal care is essential for healing:
   • Keep the site clean and dry
   • Avoid scratching or rubbing
   • Apply any prescribed ointments
   • Limit sun exposure during healing

🧴 We’ll guide you through post-procedure care to ensure flawless healing. Schedule your visit today.
