The exact cause of skin tags is unclear, but considering the fact that they appear commonly in areas where the skin folds, friction seems to be one of the cause. You may have also noticed that skin tags mostly develop in areas such as armpits, eyelids, and neck. This is because the skin constantly rubs against itself that creates more and more friction, which eventually results into a skin tag formation.
Skin tags are usually harmless skin lesions but they may end up bothering you if they're in problematic areas. If you happen to have a skin tag on your neck or chest, the jewellery that you love to wear can keep on getting stuck to the skin tag. This can cause the skin tag to get irritated and become painful over time.
People like to get rid of skin tags because in most cases they're just in the way. Sure aesthetics are one of the reasons too. If you can embrace skin tags, its great. If you can't, that's okay too. If removing one skin tag can give you more self-confidence, feel free to go for it. There's a lot of safe and effective options available for skin tag removal.
If you like home remedies, the following are some of the common ones for skin tags:
If you're more into over-the-counter products, there's actually plenty out there. But you should always go with the products that are similar to the ones that the doctors use, because those are the only things that usually work.
For example, doctors use liquid nitrogen to remove skin tags. And there are freezing kits available nowadays that are approved for home use. Although they may not achieve temperature as low as if you were to get an in-office procedure, but it makes more sense to go with something that's proven to work instead of trial and error with thousands of other products.
The other method that the doctors use is known as electrocautery. This is a procedure where the skin tag is heated and burned off with a device, which destroys the abnormal skin tissue and helps get rid of the skin tag. Devices such as Aven Buzz Skin Tag Remover Pen are based on electrocautery and can help you remove skin tags right from the comfort of your home.
