Reply:No they occur as the result of constant rubbing or friction, they can be minimized with toothpaste.
Reply:Yeah, this may seem like a weird comparison but my dog gets these too and when I took him to the vet the doctor said it is normal and there is nothing to worry about and that humans actually get them too. I asked him why they were there and he said there is no reason technically they j.ust grow somtimes.
Reply:Unfortunately, yes. They are genetic. You can have them removed by your personal physician in a quick office visit.
Reply:Yes. I have them all over my neck, chest, and even my upper arms. Mostly it's where the skin is thin or more delicate. My doctor said nothing can be done. I did read an article that said liquid bandage - a certain brand - applied over the skin tags, will hasten their demise. They dry up and fall off in a week or so. I tried, with no effect - but found I hadn't used the recommended brand. My doc said to tie silk thread around the base of the tags to get them to dry up. But that seems like a major hassle!


You could see a dermatologist to see what they say.
Reply:MOst of the time they do. As long as they stay the same size and don't move or grow and don't change color they are just skin tags and a good dermatologist will tell you to leave them. They fall under cosmetic surgery and the dermatologist has to charge you for removing them, it doesn't fall under medical coverage, another great thing about our wonderful medical system. So, if you go to an honest dermatologist like my husband and I have been going to, he/she will tell you to say the hell with it.
Reply:Yes.


But with age they grow more.
