In most cases, these growths are what are known as skin tags\u00a0\u2014also called\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0acrochordons\u00a0 , or\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><strong><span dir=\"auto\">soft fibromas<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u2014and these benign skin lesions are quite common in adults.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Unlike warts, which are associated with specific viruses, skin tags, which are called acrochordons, do not have a viral origin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">These usually form mostly in areas where the skin suffers continuous friction or pressure, such as the folds of the neck, armpits, eyelids, groin, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">There are conditions that increase the likelihood of developing them, such as excess weight, since it greatly increases the friction of the folds, also insulin resistance or diabetes, and hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Clothing also plays a fundamental role in its appearance, such as the constant use of necklaces, tight clothing or fabrics that rub against the skin can also favor its appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><!--nextpage--><span dir=\"auto\">If you\u2019ve wondered whether skin tags pose any danger to your health, you should know that, generally, skin tags are harmless and many don\u2019t even cause discomfort; they are more of an aesthetic problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">However, it is important not to assume that every bump that appears on the skin is a skin tag, as some could be confused with warts, atypical moles, or some other lesion that requires medical attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">So if you have a bump like this and notice that it changes shape, color, grows quickly, hurts, or bleeds, it\u2019s best to see a dermatologist to rule out other possibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">If you\u2019re uncomfortable with these bumps on your skin, there are safe dermatological procedures to remove them, but it\u2019s important to know that trying to remove them at home is not recommended, as it can cause irritation, infection, or scarring.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><\/div>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This article is for informational purposes only and does not replace the opinion of a healthcare professional.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is common that when we look in the mirror or when we touch areas such as the neck, armpits&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19095,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19094"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19094\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19096,"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19094\/revisions\/19096"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/easyrecipes.milaf.ma\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
