What causes skin tags?
normally when skin constantly is rubbing against skin. my boyfriend has them on his inner arm from playing ping pong for so many years. the same repititous movements causes them to form.
if they bother him he can get them removed. the doctor "freezes" it then snips it off. apparently it doesnt hurt that bad
Reply:IDK but I have one
Reply:No one really knows.
Reply:They are caused by clothes rubbing against the skin, especially around the neck, underarms etc. They are harmless.
Reply:I have them too, under one arm, its really annoying, I am waiting for some of your answers with great interest.
Reply:I think they're genetic cause me and my sis are like my daddy and we have loads on our necks but my mum and brothers don't. (my bros are like mum)
Reply:IDK either but they can be removed easily usually at birth.
Reply:they're usually hereditary. however, they are harmless and can be removed easily and painlessly.
Reply:Had one- doc took it off in 2 seconds with a clipper and some silver nitrate.
Cells are always being created and growing, right (just like they're always dying)? Well, sometimes, cells grow in a clump...and start building out instead of where they normally would. The resulting clump is a skin tag.
Reply:they are benign tumours or growths that usually occur as one get older = middle age anf beyond.

Reply:I just had a few removed a few months ago. My doctor told me that they are caused by genetics. I get them from my dad's side of the family.
Reply:I had several around my neck area that would always get snagged on my necklaces. I went to a dermatologist who froze them off.It lasted for about 15 years. When they came back, I went to a different dermatologist who injected each of them with something. It stung like crazy! But, they are back again for the third time. I have never been told of the cause, but I think I will Google it when I get off of here.

What are skin tags?
ask your doctor, i clipped mine off with fingernail clippers!!! painful!!
What are skin tags?
Skin tags aka fleshy moles are non-malignant forms of moles.
Reply:A skin tag is a common, benign condition which consists of a bit of skin that projects from the surrounding skin and may appear attached to the skin. Skin tags can vary quite a bit in appearance. They may be smooth or irregular, flesh colored or more deeply pigmented, and either simply be raised above the surrounding skin or have a stalk (a peduncle) so that the skin tag hangs from the skin.
Reply:Little pieces of tiny skin hanging off your neck. Really not hurtful just ugly to look at.

I know .....skin tags are gross. How can I get rid of them?
My son in law has skin tags. He hated them so he decided to do something about it and he went to the doctor. They removed them, right in the office. He is glad he did it. If you want to get rid of them too, please see your doctor. He can safely remove them for you.

You go to the doc and he will take them off for you.
Reply:If they are not too big, I clip them with fingernail clippers (sterilized first). Then I put cotton over it like after you give blood.
Other than that, I think you have to go see the doc!
Reply:ask a dermatologist.
Reply:I have a few of these, and, while they're aggravating, as in, when granddaughter wants to pull on them, they're not a health hazard, and I've had them most of my life.. so, I leave them alone..
I would guess it would depend on where they are located.

I have skin tags on my face and would like to try a natural at home product to remove them! Does it work?
I have skin tags under my arm, i went to the dr. and she numbed them and than they clipped them off, didn't hurt. if you try anything else they might get infected, some say you can tie a string around them. tie it as tight and you can stand it and they will fall off, cause they get no blood to them and they just fall off. that is one way, be careful that they don't get infected.

it might be better to go to the docs, but if you tie a thin piece of cotton tightly around it, it will kind of ''suffocate'' it and 'fall off, the doc did that to my mum, and the tag went within 2 days!
good luck, and be careful with it

How are skin tags removed?
I heard you cut them.. my doctor wanted to in the office but I was nervous and said no, now I want to.. can I just cut them with scissors? Is there anything I can use to numb the area? Thanks.
How are skin tags removed?
There are a number of ways to remove skin tags. Small ones that don't carry a large blood supply can be snipped off with scissors or nail clippers. They can be tied with fine thread, left to die from lack of blood flow, and fall off, or they can be frozen. I've removed some small ones with Compound W Freeze Off (available over the counter). If you're going to snip them, you can try numbing them with ice beforehand. Ice will also decrease the blood flow. Be sure to apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding when you're done. There are also some creams sold that claim to remove them, though I've never seen anyone who actually used them with success.
Reply:Let the Doctor do them it will be quick and painless.
Reply:The fast way is to have the doctor freeze them off or cut them or tie them off. The slow way is to learn why you have them in the first place, and change your lifestyle to remove them. Mine were likely the result of my hypoglycemia needing places to put fat and tissue and water.
If you want to know more about hypoglycemia and what causes that condition, there is basic info at www.hufa.org.
Reply:They can be scraped off with a scarp blade.

Can skin tags grow?
Yes-
Have an MD look after them they are very vascular and can bleed a lot - so it's best to have them removed by an MD.

Are skin tags dangerous?
No just a nuisance, although I did get one caught in the zipper of my coat once. Ouch!
Are skin tags dangerous?
not that I have heard..just sort of gross...if you can swing it, see the dermatologist and get them zapped off
Reply:A skin tag is a soft, skin-colored growth that hangs from the surface of the skin on a thin piece of tissue called a stalk. Its medical name is acrochordon. Skin tags are not skin cancer and cannot turn into skin cancer.
Reply:Yes.
Reply:I have a number of them all over my neck and under my arms. My doctor told me that as long as you don't cut them off they should not be a problem, at least not cut them off yourself. They can cause skin cancer if you mess with them too much.
Reply:Not at all! My daughter was born with one on her ear, I had it removed when she was 6 months old.
Reply:Not unless they get irritated or infected which may happen if they get routinely chafed.
Mine went away when I started getting my blood sugars under control (hypoglycemic). www.hufa.org has info on hypoglycemia.
