I think you meant skin tag, which are also known as cutaneous papillomas or an acrochordons.
Skin tags are harmless, although they are sometimes irritated by clothing or jewelry. Why and how skin tags form is not entirely known, but there are correlations with age and obesity. They are more common in people with diabetes mellitus. It is estimated that by age 70, up to 59 percent of people have them. A genetic component (causation) is thought to exist.
Prior to the age of modern medicine, acrochordons were believed to be one sign of a witches' mark.

i discover it unhappy that girls are so severe of the few brave women preferring to not comply with the "hairless perfect". whilst i replaced right into a pupil a honest time back unshaved legs + armpits have been surprisingly hardship-unfastened in comparison to immediately whilst the ordinary public shave, wax, and so on. individually there is a few thing extremely attractive some woman who would not shave, noticeably if she is surprisingly with a reasonable determine. From a in common terms actual perspective i could rather pass out with an usual finding woman who did not shave than some hairless form type. i could be interior the minority with this, yet there are particularly some adult men who like a woman who's organic + furry- not in a freakish way, in simple terms wide-spread physique hair that maximum women have in the event that they did not shave- a bearded woman could be a turn-off!

People with oily skin are prone to skin tags. Use a loo fa when bathing and rub those suckers off, a little bit at a time. Some, the flat ones, you will never get rid of without a Dr's. assistance. Some of them were burnt off by my Dermatologist.

Do you mean skin tags?
Some women get lots of them during pregnancy...so, yes...it must be hormonal. I also read somewhere that the growth of skin tags "can be" a symptom of diabetes.
Have your doctor remove them. It's not even painful at all.

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Read here https://tr.im/S4PB1
Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.

My sister got Skin Tags with every single one of her 3 pregnancies. They are not harmful, yet if they annoy you and bother you appearance wise, your doctor can remove them with a simple and virtually painless procedure.
Good Luck =)

What the HELL is a skin flag? If you've got whatever that is, go to the doctor immediately. Sounds highly unnatural.

I have no clue,but just took my dog to the vet to have some removed, they were huge to, didn't know they could get that bad, but that's what the vet said our dog had. So apparently dogs can get them also, not saying that you are one. :)
