| | The question is: "What is a skin tag, and is it dangerous?" A skin tag is not cancer it's just a common skin growth, so you can relax, you don't have cancer or anything. Skin tags are just a soft, skin-colored growth that hangs from the surface of your skin. Skin tags are attached to the body by a tiny thin piece of tissue called a stalk. Its correct medical term is "Acrochordon (AKRO-CHORD-ON)." Removing these pesky little skin tags is not covered by health insurance, so skin tag removal can be a financial burden to some of us, especially now. The good new is, now there are several removal methods available. Some are very affordable. Question: When do Skin Tags appear and why? Skin tags usually begin to appear on people as they get older. Skin tags are actually quite common in people over 60, more women get them than men. We've learned that if your parents or grandparents had skin tags, you will most likely get them too. Skin tags most frequently develop in women shortly after pregnancy.
The Location of Skin Tags Skin tags can be a bit of a problem because the location of the tag may be irritated by the constant rubbing of clothing or jewelry. A lot of patients tell us that their skin tags most often appear on the neck inside tiny skin folds. Other common locations are the armpits, beneath the breasts or around the genital region. Skin tags can also be located on places like the hands and face where they can be really unattractive. When to worry about it
In the beginning stages of growth, the skin tag first appears - as a tiny soft bump on the skin. These bumps are usually overlooked, but over time, it grows larger and larger, into a full blown skin tag. These are not usually painful,although after a few hours in the wrong clothes they can be rubbed raw and become very painful. Easy to spot? -- Most of us can recognize a skin tag at first glance; just by looking at it. A skin tag is soft, easily moveable, usually flesh-colored or slightly darker and usually attached to the skin surface by its "stalk", the last thing you need is an expert to point one out. If you have one, you should be able to grab the skin tag and easily wiggle it back and forth. WARNING: If you notice that a skin growth is too firm to be wiggled easily, or if it is a different color than surrounding skin, is multicolored or has raw or bleeding areas, dude... call your doctor, and have them examine it. Your doctor may want to do a a quick test called a skin biopsy, where they use a scaplel to remove a small piece of skintag - which is then examined in a laboratory. Skin Tag Prevention I wish there was a way to stop them from appearing, but, there is no way to prevent skin tags from showing up. What do you do to get rid of them? Well, you actually have several options. Your doctor can cut them off with sharp scissors, a sharp blade or, less commonly, by freezing or burning them off at the stalk. Bleeding may occur at the skin tag removal site, but this can be stopped with a chemical (aluminum chloride) or electric (cauterizing) treatment. Both of these methods can hurt and leave a scar. Average Doctor's fees for removing skin tags is now around $250.00
Other methods of removal Don't expect the problem to go away. Skin tags never disappear unless you have them removed. There is one way of removing skin tags, that, to be honest with you, it really is rather brutish. The US Navy Medical Guidelines use this method of skin tag removal. They say: After cleansing skin, grasp apex (Noun: The top or highest part ) of the skin tag with forceps and cut the base with sharp scissors. Try to make the cut at a level with the normal skin. The Navy says, "No anesthesia is requried and bleeding is controlled with pressure..." whatever! No thanks.
Old & New Methods
We recommend a natural skin tag removal cream instead of skin tag surgery. Long ago, Native American's created a remedy made from North American "Bloodroot". This remedy was used for thousands of years by many of the original tribes for curing all kinds of skin disorders. This remedy was all but lost after the conquest of the native peoples, by the white man in the 19th century. This highly effective herb and its properties was rediscovered in 1998 by A. Lilly and tested on thousands of test patients. In the end, Dermatend was created and since 1998 has changed the lives of millions.
Dermatend's "cream" is especially effective when used on the skin to remove tags. It's properties quickly remove skin tags as soon as overnight. "DermaTend" has removed thousands of skin tags, this year alone; and I know it will work on you too. Give it a try risk free!
