Skin Tags

Ok, is this an age thing? I'm now finding tiny skin tags showing up on my body which I have NEVER had one. Chat Icon Is it because I'm older, 7months PP, what? They're gross to say the least. I kept picking at it since I wasn't sure what it was, and since it won't go away, so now I'm pretty sure it is that. It's where my edge of my bra sits on my ribs/chest area where I sweat a lot. Could it be because of that? Chat Icon I'm clueless because I've never had one before. Chat Icon

ETA: I'll be 34 in early September...

Re: Skin Tags

it's from the sweating.. my DS got them right under his armpit and that's what the derm said it's from..

you can dig your nail into it and rip them off.. that's what the derm did..

Re: Skin Tags

I tried ripping it off... Chat Icon It's just not budging! Chat Icon It's attached a bit more than just a tiny piece. It seems like it's too new and not fully done growing! Chat Icon Now it's all red and sore around it from trying to get rid of it. Chat Icon

OMG! I noticed these also. I swore they were from my pregnancy because they showed up while I was pregnant. I could rip a few off (gross) but I have kind under my arm but not in my armpit that there is no way I can rip off- it is too big for that (grosser) Chat Icon I definitely need a trip to the derm.

I had skin tags removed; They can be a result of diabetes, and I am diabetic. However, there can be other causes. Read below. Mary
