What are skin tags?
 
Acrochordon, commonly known as a skin tag or
cutaneous skin tag is a harmless benign tumour that can be found in the
armpit, neck, face, nose, eyelids and upper chest area. Often, they are
found in skin folds and creases.
They are painless, although often, they can be easily irritated by
clothes that rub on them or while shaving. They are skin-coloured and
most of them are about the size of a grain of rice. They do not change
colour or shape over time.
A
skin tag can be found by itself or in a group (see images above). Large
amounts of them can create a cosmetic problem and can be unsightly.
What causes skin tags?
No
know exactly what causes skin tags. Evidence suggests that they can
form when skin rub up against skin. This comes from observations that
skin tags often appear in folds of skin.
However, there are
growing evidence from population
studies and other research that skin tags
are more likely to be found in people who suffer from diabetes or being
overweight. It also has been associated with polycystic ovary syndrome
(POS).
There is evidence to suggest that people with
Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (rare disorder in children involving a
defective insulin receptor gene) and the human papillomavirus (HPV) may
be involved in causing skin tags.
In one study, the authors of the research paper
suggest that multiple skin tags should raise suspicion of insulin
resistance (a pre-diabetic
condition) in the person.
