Skin tags are very small, soft, flesh-coloured or slightly darker skin growths. They are common and very often numerous in both men and women, usually occurring in skin folds such as neck, armpits, groin areas. They can also grow on the eyelids or under the folds of the buttocks.
The cause of skin tags is unknown. However, the contributing factors are chafing and irritation from skin rubbing together; high growth factors levels, particularly during pregnancy; insulin resistance and human papillary viruses.
You may consider having skin tags removed if they’re affecting your self-esteem, or if they snag on clothing or jewellery and bleed. To find a treatment that is right for you, book a no-obligation consultation with one of our experienced practitioners today.
