People who suffer from obesity or overweight, diabetics and pregnant women are prone to haveskin tags. Sometimes heredity is also a cause for skin tags. Skin tags equally affect males andfemales.
Causes of skin tags:
Skin tags are caused by bunches of collagen and blood vessels that get trapped inside thicker bitsof skin. They usually affect middle aged people.
One of the major causes for skin tags is the rubbing of skin against skin. If you are prone to skintags, there are chances of skin tags to appear where there are folds and creases such as yourarmpits, neck etc.
If we talk about risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing skin tags, there are many ofthem. Obese or overweight people, as we mentioned earlier, have more risk of developing skintags because they seem to have more skin folds and creases. Altered hormonal secretion is alsoa cause for skin tags. Pregnant women are at risk due to the changes in hormones that aresecreted into their bodies. People with diabetes are also susceptible to skin tags. Those who usesteroids are also prone to have skin tags. Steroid causes bonding of collagen fibers in your skinwhich in turn forms skin tags.
A study conducted by the National Institutes of health, USA states that as much as 46 percentpeople suffer from skin tags, mostly due to heredity.
Skin Tags Symptoms:The most common symptom of skin tags is skin growth. The growth is generally very small indiameter, sometimes it may vary up to 5cm in diameter in a worst case.
