When you have been putting on your deodorant have you ever noticed a small hanging piece of skin under your armpit? Or when you have been bathing have you ever noticed the same thing on your neck or eyelid?
Have you ever wondered what they are? Well the answer to that question is they are called skin tags or to give it its proper name Acrochordon. These irregular brown wrinkled bits of skin can be found almost anywhere on your body.
Skin tags can appear on many sensitive parts of your body. This is because they are caused by the continuous rubbing or friction produced by skin rubbing skin, or by your clothes rubbing your skin.
Skin tags are thought to appear as we get older and do not normally appear at birth. Although they are associated with mid to old age they can still be found in some younger people.
Toddlers and smaller children can also get skin tags if there is any chance of skin to skin friction anywhere on the body.
Pregnant women are susceptible to skin tags due to their hormonal changes in their bodies. Overweight people are also susceptible to this problem due to the fact that their body parts can inadvertently rub together. People with diabetes are also thought to suffer from this problem too.
Skin tags are a benign tumor and even if you leave them untreated they have been proven not to cause any cancers. This is a constant source of worry with many people, but know that they should not be such a cause for concern in this regard. Although they are not painful, they may still be a source of irritation if they get repeatedly rubbed.
There have been cases where some skin tags have grown big enough to pop. If this should occur and they start to bleed it is advisable to see your doctor as you would not want to get them infected.
