Towards the end of my pregnancy I started getting skin tags - on my breasts. They still lay flat %26amp; aren't that big, but what is causing this? I've never had them before - not even w/ my first pregnancy. I've always been small 95-100 lbs, I've gained between 25-30lbs with this pregnancy. Is it weight gain, hormons, what?
Towards end of pregnancy - why am I getting skin tags?!?
Skin tags aren't a result of weight gain, just one of the LOVELY dermatologic issues that can come with pregnancy. Skin tag removal is an easy, in-office procedure that you usually don't even have to go to a dermatologist for, and they can be done during a regular appointment in the office. If they really bother you, ask your doctor about removing them.
Reply:id say weight gain
Reply:Hormones and usually where the clothes rub against the skin. I always get them around my armpits where the bra connects there. They do go away after the baby is born, but it takes a while. If you are impatient the Doc will cut or freeze them off for you.
Reply:Skin tags are from something rubbing against your skin. It can be the seat belt, clothes, jewelry. Do worry they are very easy to remove and can be done in the doctors office or a dermatologist which ever your PCP prefers. It is not because of the weight at all. My husband wears a 31 inch waist and he gets them because his pants rub him while he is working. Good luck.
Reply:I've just learned they are sort of common. More importantly, your HCP will be monitoring your kidney function. There's some correlation B/W tags and kidney function. Your HPC can give you more info.
