About Skin Tags
Skin tags are extremely common, affecting up to 50% of the population. Skin tags are most commonly seen in people after midlife. Though they might be unsightly and worrisome, they are usually harmless. These benign growths, known as acrochordons, most often appear on the neck, armpits, under the breasts and in the groin area. They do seem to run in families.
Skin tags are fibrous polyps which seem to suddenly appear on the skin. This can be very frightening if you have not seen one before. They look like a small pouch protruding from the skin on a stalk, and they are usually the same color as your skin, although they can be a shade or two darker. They are often mistaken for warts or moles since they are not too dissimilar in appearance. Skin tags generally are not painful, except if they are located in an area where they can be irritated by rubbing clothes or other friction.
Although it is not yet established exactly what causes skin tags, the following factors seem to play a role: (1) high levels of growth — particularly during pregnancy (where the hormones are affected) or in cases of acrogmegaly (known as gigantism), (2) insulin resistance caused by diabetes, (3) the wart virus (human papilloma virus) — although this virus does not cause skin tags, it can be a contributing factor, (4) body builders and other athletes who use illegal steroids can actually cause the skin tags through the pills or drugs they are ingesting. Taking steroids interferes with the body and muscles, which in turn can affect the skin causing the collagen fibers to bond in such a way that skin tags are formed.
The skin tag is a tumor in the sense that it is a growth. However, you can take comfort in the fact that it is a benign non-cancerous raised skin tumor. Benign means that it is harmless and not malignant. But if you are not confident that what you see are skin tags, then it is wise to have them checked out by your doctor for your own peace of mind.
Skin tags can remain forever without causing a problem. They are generally removed if they become irritated or painful, or simply as a cosmetic choice. Most people seek medical treatment to have a skin tag surgically removed. This can be accomplished in several ways.
(1) Snipping off with a scalpel or scissors using a local anesthetic if needed. (2) Freezing or cryotherapy, is another option. However, this is not a first choice since it is not as precise as snipping and could cause damage to surrounding tissues. Also, this method can cause some pain and discomfort. (3) Skin tags can be removed with a laser. There may be some pain involved, but it can easily be treated with over-the-counter pain medications. This is probably the most costly method. (4) The suture method is simple. It merely requires the skin tag to be tied off with a surgical suture. This causes the blood supply to be cut off from the skin tag causing it to die and fall off.
In general, like warts, skin tags are classically treated by burning (cauterizing), or freezing the tissue with liquid nitrogen. Some doctors may opt to surgically remove skin tags. However, once surgical intervention or chemical acids are used, a scar is likely to occur in that area. What’s more, as a general rule, none of these surgical procedures are covered by health insurance since they are considered cosmetic in nature.
