According to Severance Hospital's health information, skin tags are most common on the neck, armpits, and around the eyelids.

1. Why do freckles appear?

1) Loss of skin elasticity

One reason for the appearance of skin tags is a loss of skin elasticity. As we age, collagen and elastin decrease, causing the skin to become thinner and saggy, making it easier for skin tags to form.

 

2) Obesity

Obesity can also make skin tags more likely to develop. Weight gain can cause excessive friction in areas where the skin folds, which can lead to skin tags.

 

3) Hormonal changes

Hormonal changes can also contribute to the development of skin tags. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can also temporarily increase the risk of skin tags.

2. How to manage mouse skin at home

2) Reduce skin friction

4. Q&A

1) What should I do to prevent recurrence after removing the mole?

: To prevent recurrence, it is important to manage your weight and take care of your skin, such as keeping it clean and reducing friction.

 

2) What is the difference between moles and flat warts?

Although skin tags and flat warts may appear similar, they are distinct conditions. Skin tags are benign tumors caused by excessive proliferation of fibrous tissue beneath the skin, not a viral infection. Flat warts, on the other hand, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) penetrating the stratum corneum and causing cell proliferation.
