What are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, soft, harmless skin growths that commonly appear on areas such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, or groin. While they are non-cancerous, they can be bothersome or affect appearance, especially when they rub against clothing or jewelry.
Causes of Skin Tags
- Friction: Continuous rubbing of skin folds or against clothing.
- Genetics: Family history of skin tags increases the likelihood.
- Hormonal Changes: Common during pregnancy or hormonal imbalance.
- Obesity: Increased skin friction in folds due to excess weight.
- Aging: More frequent in middle-aged and older adults.
- Diabetes: Insulin resistance can be linked to skin tag formation.
- HPV Infection: In some cases, associated with the human papillomavirus.
