The majority of people over the age of 30 develop a skin condition that have no apparent cause. The reason why we get skin tags is still unclear but these small skin growths can be a real nuisance. While many people tend to treat it like a mole its really something completely different. Moles pose quite a big threat for skin cancer while tags are benign and almost never pose any real health risks.
Removing skin tags can be a very expensive exercise. Most medical funds won't pay for skin tag removal as its considered to be purely cosmetic and the fact that they don't pose any health risks is why most funds won't pay for it.
Although you don't have to get rid of your tags there are a few good reasons why you should seriously consider it. Firstly, it can be ugly and a real source of embarrassment. Some people get dense areas of skin that gets covered in them and if its on a very exposed part of your body you will find yourself covering up all the time. If it determines your wardrobe and what you are willing or not willing to wear then maybe you should think about getting them removed. Clear and flawless skin is certainly a desired beauty that all women aspire to these days. Don't let skin tags stand in your way of feeling beautiful.
Secondly, you should consider getting them removed if they keep getting infected. The tag itself is attached to your skin with a small "root" or a stalk as its known. If your tags get caught in zippers or other clothing it can get ripped off and start bleeding profusely. Often times it becomes infected and can be very painful.
Removing skin tags is not nearly as complicated as it used to be. Most doctors can still use the traditional methods, but there are a whole lot of natural remedies that is a much more gentle and scar-free way to do it. Its well worth looking into all your options and find something that works for both your skin and your budget. The most expensive treatments are not always the best and what works for one person does not necessarily work for another. In some ways it takes a bit of trail and error but in the end you will be rewarded with a clear and beautiful skin.
