Skin Tags (Acrochordons): Causes, Epidemiology, and Removal Options
Skin tags are benign, pedunculated papules that develop in adulthood—never at birth.
Risk Factors
- Genetics, hormonal shifts (pregnancy, insulin resistance)
- Obesity, friction-prone areas (neck, axillae, groin)
- More common in women
Management
- No treatment needed unless irritated or cosmetically bothersome.
- Removal: snip excision, cryotherapy, electrosurgery, ligation—all office-based.
