There are a lot of different skin problems that individuals may have. Men, women, and children can have growths and rashes, often known as skin tags. For millions of people, however, rash and tags can come together, and may seem to be related. The question is, are the two in fact related, and how does one deal with each problem? Knowing what the difference is, and how to deal with them is important. The following focuses on the two maladies and how to fix them.
Skin Tags and Removal
First and foremost, consider the most common of skin growths. This is a small growth that looks like a wart that starts with an irritated patch of dermis. The dermal tissues can rub against one another and a small irritation can cause a growth of skin to rise in that place. Most of the time, things aren’t going to hurt, they aren’t going to bleed, and are benign. However, in severe cases, they could be tied to bigger issues, including HPV, diabetes, and more.
There are two major ways to get rid of skin tags. The first is topical, and can be done at home. Topical solutions range from holistic solutions like tea tree, coconut, oregano, and other essential oils. These oils can be applied directly to the tag, several times a day, and will help remove the tag naturally. In the case that the issue is severe, a doctor will need to be called. A dermatologist can apply a surgical fix, freeze the item, or prescribe a special cream to dry out and remove tags from the root. Skin tags may or may not come with a rash, and while they may start similarly, only the tag has a “growth” that is visible above the skin.
Rashes and How to Deal With Them
A skin rash could be the result of inflammation of the dermis. Most often, it’s on the top layers, and will cause redness, itchiness, and flaking from the skin. The cells can become inflamed to the point where a doctor may need to be called. Most often, the root cause is because of detergents, pollen, grass, or other irritants that land on the skin. The body sends out messages to the skin to fight back against these things, causing the redness. As one scratches, and tries to find relief from the itchiness, it can get worse and spread.
Dealing with rashes can be as easy as finding over the counter creams. There are antihistamine creams, aloe vera, and other itch creams that can help dull the inflammation and help the healing process. Within a week’s time, if not sooner, even the harshest of inflamed skin can reverse and return to normal. It’s important to find the root cause of this issue, so that detergents, clothing, and other options are removed. Finding the root cause may be tough at first glance, but if there’s an allergic reaction to something, one may be able to turn things around. Either way, rashes are simple to deal with in most instances. However, a dermatologist can help severe cases, etc.
