Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, typically develop in areas where the skin folds or experiences friction, such as the neck, armpits, groin, and eyelids. They are composed of collagen fibers and blood vessels surrounded by skin. Common causes and risk factors include:

Friction:

Frequent rubbing or friction in specific areas can lead to the formation of skin tags.

Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during pregnancy, can increase the likelihood of skin tags.

Older adults are more prone to developing skin tags.

Obesity:

Excess weight can contribute to the development of skin tags due to increased friction and skin folds.

"Fantastic dentist"

I hadn’t been to the dentist for year as i’ve always been too scared!! I plucked up the courage after Dr Ketan Sheth treated my 9 and 11 year old children and they were fine. Can honestly say now I don’t know why I didn’t go sooner. Dr Ketan Sheth is a fantastic dentist and all the staff and the surgery as a whole there is 5 star! Thank you for all your help and see you in 6 months.

"Immaculately Clean"

I have been using FACEMED for a number of years now for natural, painless Botox injections. A few years ago I decided to also have Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery. The clinic has its own operating theatre for the Consultant Plastic Surgeon to perform surgery, the results were perfect. FACEMED is immaculately clean, the staff are professional and helpful and Monica is an absolute expert in her field.
