There are a lot of skin issues that you are going to have to deal with over time. Skin tags are one of the most common issues that you’re going to have to deal with. This is not a cancerous thing, it doesn’t hurt, and in most cases, you are not even going to notice them. Tags come up from the dermis and they are simple overgrowths. They come up and they can be removed by a doctor, or through the use of topical solutions. Topical solutions can be applied directly to the tag and it will fall away. A doctor can remove them using cryotherapy, and other solutions.
What Are The Root Causes of Skin Tags?
Before going forward, you should understand that skin tags can be caused by a variety of different issues. There are some medical links that can come with them. In most instances, however, the issue is not something difficult to manage, and will not have an underlying medical problem. In the case of medical concerns, you’ll find that obesity, allergic reactions, HPV infection, pregnancy, steroid use, and diabetes are all underlying basic medical concerns that can come with certain skin tag formation.
Aside from the medical problems, you’ll find that tags come up through friction. Friction is the main culprit. The culprit here is that skin can rub against itself through a fold, wrinkle, or other skin irritation. It’s simply an issue that millions of people will face at one point or another.
What About Jock Itch?
First and foremost, you need to know what jock itch is. This is an issue that occurs in many gyms, and can occur in a locker room, as well as your own home. This is often referred to as “ringworm”. This is an issue that causes a rash to appear in and around the groin, and will be uncomfortable at start, and then itchy down the line. It becomes extremely painful, and itchy if not treated, and if you scratch it, spreading the issue further. It is caused by a fungus.
Jock itch does not cause skin tags outright. However, skin tags may form around the pubic region, if there is skin that is irritated and rubs against other dermal tissue. However, the fungal infection found with jock itch is not going to pose a threat. You will need to apply a topical solution to reverse jock itch, and at all costs, avoid scratching the area. Scratching the area will only cause further problems, and discomfort.
This issue may be caused by tight clothing around the groin, and that could actually cause folds and creases in the skin. If that occurs, you’ll find that the dermal tissue could rub against itself, and cause the growths to occur.
When To Call A Doctor
If you don’t your jock itch cleared up, or you don’t see changes come through after applying topical options, you will need to talk to a professional. They can prescribe a medication to remove this issue. They can also remove skin tags. The tags will be easy to remove and clear up by a professional.
