Hi, there. No one is quite sure what causes skin tags. There is agreement that hormones can and do contribute to skin tag formation. Although you are so young, you're body's going through many hormonal changes right now. Those changes may be what is causing the skin tags. Other theories about the cause of skin tags include heredity, insulin resistance, and undiagnosed allergies. Those are just theories, though.





If skin tags are irritated daily, they sometimes will get larger. There are some doctors that believe daily chafing and irritation can actually cause skin tags, but that theory is only believed by a few doctors.





If you or your doctor remove skin tags with string (or sterile fingernail clippers, sterile sharp scissors, etc.), you most likely won't have another skin tag grow in the exact same location, but you may have new tags appear in the same general area.





Using talcum powder may help alleviate the irritation you're experiencing. Aloe vera gel with some Lavender essential oil blended in will also bring quick relief and will help the skin heal.





Skin tags can be caused by some medications. I'm assuming you are not using steroids, but steroids can and do cause skin tags. Have you discussed the skin tags with your doctor(s)? Considering your other condition, you really should mention these to your doctor and see what s/he says.





I wish you the best of luck finding a way to reduce your skin tags. I also have them and know what a pain they can be.
Reply:Noone knows for sure how and why tags come about, so if they don''t bother you than leave alone, if they do bother you and go to doctor, he will take them off and it will cost money for it. bets way to do it yourself is to tie a small piecs of string around it and tie it so it is tight and leave on for about 5 days and they will fall off be themselves as when you tie it, the blood flow is cut off and they fall right off.
