FAQs

What is a Skin Tag?

A skin tag is a flesh colored-balloon that typically form around areas where clothing might cause increased friction, as well as in naturally-occurring folds and creases of the skin. They consist of dense skin cells, collagen fibers, nerve endings, and blood vessels.

What Causes Skin Tags?

Much like acne, the true genesis of skin tags remains unclear. We do know that age, diabetes, obesity, genetics, and hormones are all contributing factors to their formation. Rest assured that nearly everyone faces the issue of skin tags at some point. However, some are more prone than others.

Won’t more Skin Tags form if I remove one?

This is one of the misconceptions surrounding them. The pathology of skin tags tell us that they do not “seed”. Once removed, it will not stimulate new skin tag growth. For those more prone to skin tag formation, intermittent treatments to remove newly-formed tags is not uncommon.

Are Skin Tags contagious, can I infect other areas of my body or other people through contact?

There is no evidence that points to skins transmitting through human contact. Skin tags are not warts. Warts are caused by HPV virus and are quite contagious. Everything that science and medicine have learned about Skin Tags point to them being harmless and non-contagious, not the product of a viral infection.
