What Are the Skin Tags
Rasa Derm provides patients with safe and efficient skin tag removal services through expert care.Acrochordons, medically known as skin tags, emerge as small, soft, skin-coloured growths that commonly appear on the neck, underarms, eyelids, chest, crotch, and beneath the breasts. The benign skin growths consist of collagen and blood arteries, which become trapped in thicker skin layers. These harmless growths lead to cosmetic problems while also causing itchy discomfort from rubbing and obstructing personal items and shaving equipment.
Rasa Derm employs dermatologist-approved procedures to remove skin tags efficiently and safely while minimising scarring. Our treatment method provides comfortable tag removal with minimal recovery time that yields smooth skin for both functional and cosmetic reasons.
Several conditions make some people more susceptible to developing skin tags than others, even though anyone can get them.
Rubbing and Friction
Skin tags tend to appear in areas where skin scrapes against clothing or other skin repeatedly. Continuous rubbing of skin areas, particularly in the groin, underarms, and neck, leads to excessive skin development.
Family members who have skin tags make you more likely to develop them. Your skin reaction to minor damage or skin friction could be influenced by inherited traits.
Insulin Resistance and Obesity
People with obesity and those who have type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance are more likely to develop skin tags. The combination of metabolic disorders with skin creases increases the likelihood of tag development.
Growing older
The ageing process increases the occurrence of small skin growths because skin elasticity declines, especially after age 40.
Variations in Hormones
The production of skin tags tends to increase when hormone levels change during pregnancy and perimenopause and in patients with PCOS. The fluctuations in growth factors could be the reason behind this.
Knowing When To Consult A Dermatologist
A dermatologist at Rasa Derm should be consulted if:
- Your skin tags are getting bigger or more numerous.
- The pain, itching, or bleeding starts.
- Patients seek professional removal of their tags when they want to eliminate them from sensitive locations such as the face, underarms, or eyelids.
At-home skin tag removal attempts may result in infection or scars. A professional removal procedure will produce excellent cosmetic results while preserving the surrounding skin tissue.
