I am 35 years old male. I have many skin tags on my neck, armpits and now its also coming on my thighs near private area. It feels very disgusting. How to treat it?

Question

Hello lybrate-user, thank you for the query. Skin tags are small over growths of skin above the surface usually found at the areas where there is constant rubbing. Another condition similar is warts which is a form of viral infection which spread to areas. In both cases chances of recurrence are present. The only method to get them removed is through radio cautery or lasers. Later there are certain sprays available to prevent their relapse. It is advisable to get it removed and improve your immunity. You can visit our centre for the procedure.

Hello lybrate-user, kindly keep a check on your weight if you feel the tags are increasing in number as more weight more, hormonal changes, more pigmentation problems and skin tags/ it probably runs in your family. The only way to get rid of the already existing ones easily is by electrocautery.
