where do skin tags come from?

answers1: Fat
answers2: Hello SaltyTina, Skin tags are common for obese people and
people that are over the age of 35. A skin tag occurs near or around
flaps of skin. For example,,,, near armpit, by vagina lips, near
scrotum, a persons eyelid, and in between the legs close to the groin
area. They are just long stems of skin that are moblie and not
painful. The only time they are irritated is when they are rubbing
against clothing or another body part. They can be removed by a
Gynecologist. Usually the methods are using a sharp pair of medical
scissors, putting a person to sleep and either burning them off or
using liquid nitrogen to freeze them off. The liquid nitrogen is the
most painful of the 3 ways of removal.

answers6: Cutaneous (skin)tags are very common benign skin growths
that occur most often after midlife. The tags stick out of the skin,
and may have a small narrow stalk connecting the skin bump to the
surface of the skin. Cutaneous tags are usually painless and do not
grow or change. However, they may be irritated from rubbing by
clothing or other materials. Cutaneous skin tags are more common in
people who are overweight or who have diabetes.
answers7: they are a kind of wart (caused by a virus). <br>

I almost flipped when I found out they are warts. The GOOD news,
however, is that if you use wart remover on the very base, you make
them go away. You'll be left with a small brown spot where the tag
was but it will eventually fade away.
answers8: Throw the tag out and get on with your life. The red mark
will fade, but even if it doesn't, isn't it still better then having
the tag?
