Facts of Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, soft outgrowths that protrude from the skin through a stalk called peduncle. These outgrowths typically measure less than 1cm. In very rare instances, they may measure 5cm.
Acrochorda is the scientific name for skin tags. Acrochordon is the singular for acrochorda. Skin tags are also referred to as fibroepithelial polyps, cutaneous papilloma, soft fibroma and skin tabs.
You can be infected by a single soft fibroma. Alternatively, they could number in the hundreds, covering a fairly large surface area.
The surface of a soft fibroma can be smooth or irregular. Most soft fibromas have an irregular surface. Take a look at your nipple. That’s how soft fibromas look like.
They tend to develop in areas where, the skin forms folds. The three most likely areas for soft fibromas to occur are the neck, armpit and groin.
They can occur on any body part. Other body parts, in which, cutaneous papillomas are likely to develop include the face, eyelids, mouth, nasal cavity, under the arms, under the breasts, genitalia, thighs, umbilicus, natal cleft and upper chest.
Who Gets Affected by Skin Tags?
Any body can be infected by soft fibromas. They are relatively widespread. An estimated 50% of the world’s population is impacted. You may contract it once or several times.
Some people just seem to be predisposed to cutaneous papillomas. It seems to run in their families. This observation has led some researchers to postulate that, genetics plays a role in the pathogenesis of the condition.
Fat people are severely impacted by soft fibromas.
Most scientists postulate that, soft fibromas are caused by skin rubbing against skin. Skin mainly rubs against skin in areas of the body where, accumulated body fat twists into creases and folds. Since fat and obese people have more accumulated fat; they are more vulnerable.
Children and toddlers can be affected by cutaneous papillomas; however, the infection is more common among older people. Middle aged people are particularly touched.
Men and women are affected by cutaneous papillomas; however, the condition is more prevalent in women. Researchers point to the female hormone estrogen as being responsible for the difference in the rate of occurrence between men and women.
How to Remove Skin Tags
Soft fibromas are harmless and non-contagious. They do not present any threat to your health. From a medical perspective, treatment is not necessary. Nonetheless, most people chose to remove the tumors for esthetic reasons.There are five main techniques to treat cutaneous papillomas: cauterization, cryosurgery, excision, surgical ligation and topical creams.
Cauterization involves using heat to destroy the tumor. There are three main forms of cauterization: electrocautery, chemical cautery and ultrasonic cautery.
In electrocautery, the heat is generated by passing a current through metal probes. Depending on the severity of the tumor, your doctor might choose to cut or coagulate it. If your doctor chooses to cut the tumor, he will use continuous waveform current. If he chooses to coagulate the tumor, he will use intermittent type current.
Chemical cautery involves destroying the tumor with chemicals. The chemicals that are most frequently used to destroy soft fibromas include: silver nitrate, trichloroacetic acid and cantharidin.
Chemical cautery is rarely used because chemicals have the idiosyncratic property of leaching from the infected tissue to perfectly healthy tissue. This results in both the destruction of the infected tissue and the healthy tissue.
Ultrasonic cautery involves using ultrasound to destroy the tumor.
