What causes skin tags?
It is not know what causes skin tags. However, the following factors may play a role:
Chaffing and irritation from skin rubbing together
High levels of growth factors, particularly during pregnancy or in acrogmegaly (gigantism)
Insulin resistance (syndrome X)
Human papilloma virus (wart virus)
How can they be removed?
Skin tags can be removed for cosmetic reasons by the following methods:
Cryotherapy (freezing)
Surgical excision (often with scissors)
Electrosurgery (diathermy)
Ligation (a suture is tied around the neck of the skin tag)
What causes skin tags? Is there a natural way to get rid of them?
i've heard it's and extension of a blood vein, that has been rubbed for long periods of time. i think age and size have alot to do with it personally. i know of no cure except a dr's visit.
