WELCOME TO HOMEOPATHIC WORLD Acrochordon Skin Tag

Skin tags are usually harmless and painless.
The main symptom is a growth on the skin, often on the neck, upper chest, underarms and eyelids. They may become irritated from rubbing against clothing. Skin tags (acrochordons) are small, noncancerous growths that tend to be the same color as your skin. They often look like a cluster of skin

Acrochordon (skin tags) have been reported to have an incidence of 46% in the general population.
What causes skin tags?
Although we do not know the exact cause of skin tags, the following are thought to be associated with their appearance:
- Chaffing and irritation from the skin rubbing together
- Hormones secreted during pregnancy or in cases of acromegaly (gigantism)
- Insulin resistance caused by diabetes
- Human Papilloma virus
- Illegal steroid use that interferes with the body and muscles, causing the collagen fibers in the skin to bond so that skin tags are formed
How to Remove Them?
Many people suffering from ancrochordons will approach a dermatologist or a general practitioner. In this case, the skin tags will be removed surgically which involves cutting around the tag itself. This can be quite expensive operation and there is no guarantee that firstly, there will be no scarring and secondly, that the tag will not return at some later date. There may also be some pain involved.
Another option for the removal of ancrochordons is to use a homoeopathic remedy. There is no burning or skin irritation and therefore no pain.
Although the total time period varies from person to person, depending on the quantity and size of the skin tags and your immune system, the condition will be eliminated in 4 to 8 weeks. And the important end result would be no scarring and no return of the tag.
