Skin tags are on and around my eyes, scalp, neck, chest, groin stomach, arm pits and where ever I sweat. Tag growth increases with night sweat increase. HELP!
The areas where my night sweats are, is where my skin tags.appear. Does sweat fertilize them?
what is a skin tag?
Reply:yuk...go to a doctor and get those removed...nanunanu
Reply:Sweat does not encourage their growth, but they perspire in their own right, as well as tending to grow in places from which perspiration does not easily evaporate. The first time I discovered a skin tag, I had a doctor remove it. Nowadays, when I find one, a diagonal cutting pliers disposes of it.

I have the same problem, except I do not have skin tags around my eyes, neck or scalp.
Yes, I definitely believe sweat promotes the growth of skin tags.
I would talk to your doctor or an endocrinologist about some type of medication, or what diet you should be on, in order to either curb or eliminate your night sweats.
Reply:Try washing frequently with a delicate soap, such as Ivory bar soap (the liquid has additives that may exacerbate the problem.) Also use a light dusting of baby powder; too much will form clumps which will make the problem worse. You should be checked by a skin specialist; this is not normal, and you shouldn't have to endure this. I would imagine that the components of sweat act as a food source for pathogenic bacteria which can be a factor in skin eruptions. See a dermatologist! They might want you on a food-elimination diet to rule out food sensitivities and/or allergies. And don't scratch, which can cause skin sensitivity and tears which will lead to infection. Use Aveeno cream as an anti-itch cream until you get this attended to, and polysporin as a broad-spectrum skin antibiotic if necessary. Your doctor should refer you. Good luck...
Reply:Have your dermatologist check them out, she might be able treat or even suggest removing them. It is a very simple and painless procedure to remove them.

Is there an easy way to get rid of skin tags?
My brother is loaded with skin tags. Occasionly he will go to the dermatologist and he'll remove a few dozen, but it's costly and time consuming. I read in a newspaper that some people use Sally Hanson nail hardener to get rid of these skin tags. Does anyone know anything about this and if so, how does it work?
Is there an easy way to get rid of skin tags?
yes it does.I am a certified dermatological tech. what this does when applied is if cuts the air off to the tag and it will dry up and either pull off or fall off with little or no pain.
Reply:Don't know about that but you could try tying a piece of string tight around the bottom of them then eventually they will die and drop off
Reply:I get a lot of these. I clean the area with alcohol and then tie or have someone tie - dental floss very tight at the base of the skin tag. It drps off in a few days. Sometimes I do 10 or 15 at a time. I have not had any bad experience from this.
Reply:i have never seen anything that recommended using a nail hardener on any part of the body besides the nails.
the problem with skin tags is that they generally will reappear even after you've had several removed, and - its genetic, there is no "cure," you're either predisposed to getting them or your not. the safest method of removal is by the dermatologist. my grandmother said she used to tie a piece of string around the tag until it fell off, but again, they just grow back somewhere else.
Reply:I've never heard of a skin tag! What is that?
Reply:I don't know about Sally Hansen products for this condition, BUT, I DO know that my husband had large skin tags. He went to our regular doctor, and she just froze them all off......just gone. They have not come back.
Reply:I not really sure have been trying for quite a while. I have them all over my neck and even a couple on my eyelids. I heard some about using the wart remover that freezes the wart. Not sure of the name. But not sure if it works have not tried it.

Questions re: Diagnosing HPV vs. "Normal" Skin Tags?
Hello,
I'm a 29yo Male. I have no health insurance, so I'm hoping you can answer some questions for me that might help me diagnose whether I have HPV or just normal skin tags.
All told, I have about 6-8 spots I'm concerned about. They are located on the shaft of my penis, th scrotum, and near the thigh. Several sources have indicated HPV will ALWAYS include warts on the TIP of the penis--since I have nothing near the tip, am I OK?
Next, my lesions (?) have been the same for a few years--no growth, nothing new, nothing disappeared. Is that typical of HPV?
Finally, I've read that VINEGAR will turn HPV warts white. I've tried applying common vinegar to myself, and seen no color change. Will HPV warts always react this way?
Thanks. Hope this helps some others, too.
Questions re: Diagnosing HPV vs. "Normal" Skin Tags?
Hey dude .... go to your local health department and have these growths diagnosed by a doctor ... Internet diagnoses could lead to the loss of something near and dear to you if it happens to be cancer.
Reply:Please see the webpage for more details on Genital wart, Genital sores-male and Human papilloma virus.
Genital warts are assumed to be caused by HPV, but other tests can be done to identify whether a person is carrying the virus, including biopsy. However, none has been totally reliable. Scientists say some people may have been told they have the virus when they do not because HPV-type changes may be similar to normal anatomical variations.

What are these marks under my skin? There are tiny blood blisters forming on my skin like skin tags...?
These blood blister marks are kind of like skin tags, but not as projected. I have two on my face, and many smaller ones forming on my abdomin, arms and legs. I also have a bruise like mark on my back. This mark is probably 3/4 inch in diameter. The skin is dark and soft like a bruise, but it doesn't hurt when someone touches it. I have had this mark for at least 3 years.
What are these marks under my skin? There are tiny blood blisters forming on my skin like skin tags...?
People get blood blisters from ballet. I usually spray disinfectant on them and then a band aid. I wouldn't recommend you do this on your face, but t does help.It could always be age spots from being in the sun when you were younger, a lot of people in my family have that because they didn't use sun tan lotion...
Is your doctor a dermatologist? If he isn't then you need to find one, they are the ones who know.
Reply:3 years and you haven't been to a doctor in all that time?
Whatcha think? Time to see one now?
Reply:I don't have the bruise thing, but I have those red things. I asked the doctor about them. He said it's just age and I'll get more.
I don't know how old you are, but I'm 50.
Reply:I would check with a dermatologist, that don't sound good.
Reply:First and foremost you must a skin specialist. You may have to carry out pathological tests of your blood, urine and stool (motion). This will help the skin specialist.
The possibilities are that you are having worm infection. There could be others and I do not want to freighten you at the moment.

Reply:HI,you said that you have been to a doctor,but have you been to a dermatologist?You should always get at least two or three opinions especially as you said sometimes doctors are wrong.If it bothers you ,even if it is not painful then you should really check it out.Nobody knows your body like you do,and if you beleive something is wrong then perhaps it is,even if its nothing it must be something or you would'nt be concerned.Stick to your guns and see several different opinions at least until you are satisfied.Take care!
Reply:i have the same things but i bruise easily and take a blood thinner.it sounds like your blood is thinner than normal. do you bleed alot when you get cut?or is it hard to stop bleeding?if you have trouble with excessive bleeding you may not have enough platelets that the body uses to clot the blood when you get cut.do you have these on your arms because when your asleep you could lay on your arm and break a few small veins and they bleed under your skin.if i were you i would go to a specialist who does blood work and get a platelet count done and have a test done on the thickness of your skin. my skin has thinned in a short time and these blood filled areas can be broken easily and the blood leaks out.i also have a problem with bruising and it takes forever for those to disappear.im not trying to scare you but you do seem to have something that is not normal. your too young to be having any health problems but i suggest that you find a reputable doctor who can evaluate why you have these areas filled with small amounts of blood and that bruise on your back has me confused. you might have just backed into something and it didnt hurt but it still bruised.i have done that a few times in my life.i hope all goes well for you and will pray for good news. would you please let me know the outcome of your problem? it could help me and others that have the same or similar problems.

Towards end of pregnancy - why am I getting skin tags?!?
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.

How do you get rid of moles, skin tags etc...?
I have a load of moles and skin tags that are raised and I really want to get rid of them, by any means necessary. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
How do you get rid of moles, skin tags etc...?
i have one way but it'll hurt. and imperfections in a way makes us perfect, i doubt you'll understand what i mean...
Reply:Go to a dermatologist to burn off the moles... and see what else you can do..
Reply:My doctor says I can cut my own skin tags off -- as long as they're not too big. It HURTS though!
You really should see a dermatolgist for the moles, though, because they need to be biopsied to be sure they're not cancerous.
Reply:You can lose a skin-tag by tying a cotton thread tightly around it. In a day or two it will fall off.
Reply:Go to your doctor and say one has changed colour or shape recently you will then get sent to hospital to get it removed - you will likely get a scalpel happy surgeon who want to take every mole on your body off.
I wouldn't recommend trying a DIY job.
Reply:I tried the cotton thing didn't work. I was in agony and had real trouble getting the cotton off. See your GP. Much safer
Reply:uh, surgery, dur
Reply:Skin tags yes moles no.
Tie string/cotton round the s/t and in a few days it will fall off.
Reply:Surgery for moles and if they are on your face a good plastic surgeon is the best route. Your GP should be able to freeze your skin tags (like a wart) and cut them off.
