Skin
tags are harmless growths on the skin that can vary in number. They are usually
the same color as your skin or slightly darker. These tiny pieces of tissue are
composed of blood vessels and a type of protein fiber called collagen. They
project from the surrounding skin on a thin or thick stalk. While most skin
tags are small, pinhead-sized bumps, they may become as large as a grape
Skin tags can develop
on any part of the body, but they most commonly grow on areas of high friction
or areas that are commonly rubbed, such as, neck, breasts, groin, stomach,
eyelids, underarms.
Males and females are
equally prone to getting skin tags. However, people may be more likely to
develop skin tags if they are obese, are pregnant, or have diabetes
Causes--Researchers don’t know exactly what causes
skin tags to grow. It is believed that friction may lead to the development of
skin tags. The growths commonly occur in areas where skin constantly rubs
against clothing or other skin, such as near your bra strap or in a fold of
skin.
Other factors that may
contribute to the formation of skin tags include-the presence of certain forms
of papilloma virus, insulin resistence, which is often seen in people with
diabetes.
Skin tags also appear
to run in families, and researchers suspect that genetics might play a role in
the development of the condition.
Symptoms-- The tag sticks out of the sin and may have a short, narrow
stalk connecting it to the surface of the skin. Some skin tags are as long as a
half of an inch . Most skin tags are the same color as skin, or a little darker
In most cases the skin
tag is painless and does not grow or change. However it may become irritated
from rubbing by clothing or other materials
