\"skin<\/a>Are skin tags<\/strong><\/a> making your life miserable? Well, you can now access a\u00a0
variety of treatment options. Although knowing what skin tags are and are\u00a0not can be reassuring, sometimes you want to have a clear skin free of\u00a0any blemishes.

What Causes Skin Tags<\/strong>

Skin tags are made of blood vessels and loose collagen fibers around the\u00a0skin. Although there are no known causes of skin tags, scientists\u00a0
believe that certain factors could make you predisposed. Skin tags are\u00a0
not present during birth, and their frequency increases with age.\u00a0
Studies also show that genetic predisposition could lead to you getting\u00a0
skin tags. That is the reason why people in one family could end up\u00a0
having the growths. Hormonal changes and Crohn\u2019s disease could also\u00a0
stimulatethe growth of skin tags<\/a>.

The friction between adjacent areas of skin or between the clothes and\u00a0
skin could also lead to the development of skin tags. You\u2019ll find skin\u00a0
tags on eyelids, neck, upper chest, and the underarms. Skin tags are\u00a0
harmless<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0vary in size and color. Although skin tags are standard and may not\u00a0
cause discomfort or pain, they can affect your self-esteem. If this is\u00a0
the case, you might consider having them removed.

How Are Skin Tags Diagnosed?<\/strong>

Skin tags are diagnosed<\/a>\u00a0through observation by\u00a0
your general physician or cosmetic surgeon. Skin tags have a\u00a0
characteristic appearance and do not require lab tests. However, in some\u00a0
cases, the doctor may send the tissues for microscopic diagnosis to\u00a0
ascertain that there are no other conditions similar to what you have on\u00a0
your skin. Sometimes warts and benign skin growths can resemble skin\u00a0
tags. It\u2019s critical to note that it\u2019s rare for skin cancer to look like\u00a0
a skin tag.

What Treatment Options Are Available for Skin Tags?<\/strong>

Skin tags can be removed through different methods. Do not attempt to get\u00a0
rid of skin tags on your own as this could lead to scarring and\u00a0
infections. You can choose an over-the-counter solution that freezes the\u00a0
skin tag. The tag will fall after ten days. The medication is similar to\u00a0
what is used for wart removal. Unfortunately, OTC medications do not\u00a0
work for everyone. You may be forced to go through several options to\u00a0
find one that works. Also, you might want to see a dermatologist if you\u00a0
don\u2019t feel comfortable removing a skin tag on your own.

The doctor uses local anesthesia to numb the area before performing\u00a0
surgery on the area. Cauterization is a procedure that uses heat to\u00a0
remove a growth from the skin. Also, the surgeon may use cryosurgery\u00a0
which involves spraying liquid nitrogen over the skin tag. The procedure\u00a0
freezes off the growth leaving you with smooth skin.

Laser therapy is also another way to get rid of skin tags. The procedure\u00a0
involves pointing a radiofrequency device to the tags to remove the\u00a0
lesions. You may require one to two treatments for complete\u00a0
removal. You\u2019ll need up to five days to heal depending on your skin\u2019s\u00a0
natural state.

Skin tags don\u2019t have to make you feel bad about your looks, visit a\u00a0
dermatologist who will advise on the best way to remove them. Most\u00a0
treatment options are painless and do not cause scarring.<\/p>
