What Causes Skin Tags to Grow?
First understand that skin tags are relatively common in adults from about middle age on. They’re usually characterized by a narrow stalk and are benign (non-cancerous) in nature. Unless they’re causing you a problem such as irritation or are cosmetically displeasing – there’s really no need for removing skin tags. It would seem that not a lot of effort has been expended by the medical community in determining what causes skin tags to grow. The most common reason cited is rubbing and irritation of the skin. Other conditions that cause skin tags to grow include obesity and possibly heredity.
