Skin tags (acrochordons) are small, soft, flesh-colored growths that hang off the skin. They form in skin folds like the neck, armpits, and eyelids. Skin tags are completely benign and painless, caused by friction or rubbing. No treatment is medically necessary, but removal is common for comfort or cosmetic reasons.
GLOJAS Specialist Clinic offers safe and effective skin tags removal using advanced medical techniques, ensuring minimal discomfort and quick recovery. Get expert evaluation and personalised treatment for smooth, healthy skin with trusted care in Kuala Lumpur.
Skin tags are small, soft, non-cancerous growths that commonly appear on the neck, eyelids, armpits, and skin folds. They are caused by friction and excess skin tissue, often linked to aging, obesity, or hormonal changes. Skin tags are harmless but can be removed safely for cosmetic or comfort reasons.
Friction – Repeated skin rubbing against skin or clothing, especially in neck, underarm, and groin folds.
Obesity and excess weight – More skin folds create constant friction, dramatically increasing skin tag formation.
Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance – High insulin levels directly stimulate skin cell overgrowth and tag development.
Genetics – A strong family history is one of the biggest predictors of developing skin tags.
Hormonal changes – Pregnancy and acromegaly (growth hormone disorder) frequently trigger multiple skin tags.
Metabolic syndrome – Having obesity, high blood pressure, and abnormal cholesterol together strongly correlates with skin tags.
CO2 laser vaporizes skin tags layer by layer without touching surrounding skin.
