1. Beauty Guides : Where Do Skin Tags Come From
& Can You Prevent Them?
Skin Tags
Skin tags are flaps of skin which are usually dark in color. They come in all shapes and sizes and may be
found all over the body. Some people are more susceptible to getting them than others.
How Do They Occur?
Essentially skin tags occur due to skin irritation. This irritation can be caused by pretty much anything. So it's
not unusual to have skin tags on your body at some time during your life.
The irritation which can cause the tags is usually skin rubbing against other skin. So they are common under
the armpits, breasts or around the eyes.
But this doesn't always need to be the case. The tags may pop up because skin cells are unable to be
produced at the same pace that they once were. For this reason they are especially common after middle
age.
Can You Prevent Them?
You can prevent skin tags by doing everything you can to reduce irritation.
At the most simple level try to take good care of your skin. Moisturise and exfoliate regularly. It's also
important to maintain a healthy weight. As we said before irritation occurs when skin rubs against other skin.
Therefore people who are overweight and have more folds in their skin are more susceptible to skin tags.
Staying away from tight fitting clothes is also a good way to reduce irritation. Spray on deodorants are also
said to irritate the skin – roll ons will usually be better. Luckily skin tags are relatively easy to treat if they do
occur.
