What are skin tags?

A skin tag is a small piece of skin that hangs like a tag from a small, narrow stalk. Known as acrochordon or cutaneous papilloma and considered a benign skin growth, they occur in similar places like the neck, underarms, eyelids, and under the breasts.  Skin Tags can appear in all shapes and sizes but they are typically smooth or slightly shriveled like a raisin.  New skin tags can be as tiny as the tip of a pin, but some skin tags can grow as large as a grape.

There is no real known cause for skin tags, but a few things are known: Irritation from skin rubbing together and chaffing with clothing or other materials, resistance to insulin (diabetes) and the Human Papilloma Virus (viral warts).

Skin tags are not an uncommon condition, although they occur much more frequently during and after middle age and in women, men do get them as well. They can be the color of surrounding skin, or slightly darker and can be anywhere from 1mm to 5mm in size.

Skin tags are a benign and harmless, but most people who suffer from them find them very unsightly. Most people don't know that you can treat skin tags naturally with products such as DermaTend™ an all natural skin tag remover that safely removes skin tags at home.
