Why do skin tags form?

What causes skin tags to form?

Recently, I developed a skin tag near my groin, so I bought and am applying Aha cream.

However... it looks similar in the neck as well, so... it's a small size that makes me unsure if it's serious enough to worry about...

Since it hasn't disappeared... I think it's a similar guy.

Why... why does it happen??

 

Why do skin tags form?

This thing called a fibroepithelial polyp, also known as a skin tag, still has no clear known cause. ㅜㅜ

However, a few factors are known.

  1. Aging
  2. Hormonal changes
  3. Obesity
  4. Diabetes mellitus
  5. Genetic factors
  6. Friction

Although these reasons do not all cause skin tags,

The exact cause is difficult to determine and is said to vary from person to person.

 

 

Characteristics of skin tags

It mainly occurs in areas where flesh folds, such as the neck, armpits, and groin.

It looks like a small, soft lump, and its color is similar to skin tone or slightly brown.

There is no pain or itching.

 

 

Why do skin tags form?

 

Looking at these features, I think this thing I have also seems to be a skin tag...

Ah... why did this happen...

 

 

How to remove skin tags

 

  1. Laser treatment
  2. Electrocauterization
  3. Surgery
  4. Cryotherapy

 

If you visit the dermatology clinic and consult with a specialist, I think you will be recommended the most suitable procedure.

I was also curious about the cost... but since it varies by hospital, there was only a note to inquire at the hospital.

 

If it keeps bothering me, I think I should go to the hospital and have it removed.

I'm trying hard to apply the cream...

If I think it's not going to work...

 

 

Tearing it open by hand at home can lead to secondary infection and scarring, so they say you should never touch it.

I also, uh, picked at it, but ㅜㅜ

 

Are there anyone who, like me, has skin tags?

Please share if there are any who have had it removed without going to the hospital...

    쥐젖은 셀프 치료하다가 더심해지거나
    흉터가 많이 남을 수 있다고 합니다
    통증까지 생길 위험이 있어서 왠만하면 병원 가서 제거하세요 
    그나마 예방 할 수 있는 방법은 
    자외선 차단제 꼼꼼히 바르시고
    적절한 스킨케어,건강한 생활 습관 유지 하시구요 
    피부과 다녀오시길 추천드려요

    저 목에 쥐젓이 몇개 있어요 
    건강상 문제는 없다고는 하지만 미용상 좀 신경쓰이지요 
    아하 크림 바르고 효과 좋다는 분들도 있으시네요 
    쥐젓 톡 튀어나온거 일직선으로 톡 자르면 흉없이 잘 아문다고 하는데 잘못 하다가 더 깊게 파이거나 하면 흉질 수 있어요 
    깔끔하게 제거하려면 피부과에서 레이저로 제거하시는게 좋아요 한두번이면 제거된다고 합니다
