Get Skin Tag Treatment Online

A skin tag, medically known as an acrochordon, is a small, soft, benign growth of skin connected to the surface by a thin stalk called a peduncle. They are made of loose collagen fibers and blood vessels surrounded by skin. They are not cancerous and do not become cancerous.

Skin tags most commonly develop where skin rubs against skin or clothing, which is why they appear in folds and creases. Friction, genetics, hormonal changes, and conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with a higher likelihood of developing skin tags.

Skin tags themselves are benign and not dangerous. However, a sudden increase in the number of skin tags can sometimes be associated with insulin resistance or hormonal changes, so it is worth mentioning to your physician if you notice many new growths appearing in a short time.

Skin tags rarely disappear on their own. Occasionally a tag may fall off if its blood supply is cut off naturally, but most tags persist indefinitely without some form of treatment or removal.

Common approaches include topical chemical agents such as trichloroacetic acid or salicylic acid, ligation (tying off the stalk), cryotherapy, and minor surgical excision. Your Doctronic physician will recommend the approach that is most appropriate for your specific situation.

Removing a skin tag does not cause more to grow in its place. New skin tags may appear in other areas over time due to the same underlying factors, such as friction or metabolic conditions, but removal of an existing tag does not trigger new growth at that site.
