If we are to make an analogy, we can say that the human body is a delicate flower that has to be treated with the greatest care. That explains the lengths that medicine is going to in order to find out everything they possibly could about the human body and the diseases that affect it.

Despite the fact that skin tags have no adverse effects on those who have them, many are still intent on having them removed through any means possible. But first, they must take stock of their skin tag condition. Do not immediately go into a panic when you realize you have a skin tag condition. The moment you realize the skin tags are growing rapidly in size and in number, you should immediately go to a doctor. However, in many situations, skin tags are benign in nature and have a very slow but gradual rate of spreading that can take between a few months to even years.

The first thing you should look into would be the underlying cause or causes of the skin tags condition. There are some things you have to stay away from in the course of the treatment, so it is important to find out the cause. One of the reasons given by many doctors and medical researchers is prolonged exposure to the sun. But it is still an ongoing debate because, apparently, this reason is not concrete enough. According to some medical researchers, it is the UV radiation that causes the skin tags to develop. Skin tags are often seen among those people who have low melanin count and are light-colored.

It is also possible that the cause of the skin tags is something biological; for instance, having skin tags runs in the family. You may have seen a newborn babe already having skin tags. Of course, skin tags can also be blamed on one's lifestyle and eating patterns, although that rarely happens. Once you cover all these plausible causes, you can them consider the various treatment options used to remove skin tags. You will have to choose between two options for the treatment. Should you choose a modern method, or would you want to go for the conventional one? Dermatologists are those who normally make use of these modern skin tags removal systems. Homemade remedies made by you and to be applied by you will fall under the conventional treatment option.

Commercially manufactured creams for skin tag removal also fall under the modern treatment methods. These are often prescribed by doctors to their patients. Surgery is another option and there are a lot of surgical procedures to choose from. Your options would include laser surgery, cryosurgery, straightforward scalpel surgery, and even burning of the skin tags directly. But keep in mind that some treatments are not suitable for certain skin types. Plus, you also have to spend money on them. Lasik surgery, for one, is not something that is advisable if the patient is someone who has fair skin.

Home remedies also come highly recommended as medical treatments for skin tags because of the use of natural products in the ingredients. It is so easy to look for these ingredients since you can buy the food products from the store or the market, and they are mostly made from plant extracts. There is a certain amount of studying involved if you'd want to prepare these remedies yourself. You need to understand that this option of skin tag removal will not offer fast results like the modern treatment. However, opting to skin tags removal is a safer and cheaper option than that of modern skin tag treatment options.

Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:02:31 -0800 Issues You Need to Consider When deciding Whether Or Not to Have Skin Tags Removed http://maldonado200.posterous.com/issues-you-need-to-consider-when-deciding-whe http://maldonado200.posterous.com/issues-you-need-to-consider-when-deciding-whe

Finding skin tag on different parts of their bodies would call forth some tough decision-making on your part. But making that decision is not as simple as it sounds. There are considerations that you must think about. Let us try to see what those specific concerns or issues are. At the same time, we will try to see how much these considerations will impact the final decisions.

To make a 'to remove or not to remove' decision for your skin tags, the first issue you must first address is how conspicuous it is. If for instance, you have developed a tag right under your eyelid, and you have noted a trend where people you meet tend to focus more on the tag (or where they end up being distracted by the tag), you may be justified in seeking to have it removed. If, on the other hand, the skin tags are not noticeable and they can be strategically kept hidden, you can opt to let it be. If they are not causing any discomfort, either, then you have no reason to remove them.

The next issue you have to confront is whether or not the skin tags are having a negative impact on your overall appearance or they are so ugly they are causing such distractions. If the tags are making you be perceived as being less physically attractive than you actually are, you may have reason to have them removed. But you have to ensure that the perception in that regard is not just in your mind. There are times when skin tags, instead of destroying your appeal, can actually end up making your more attractive.

Of course you also have to consider how much potential pain you will have to suffer should you decide to undergo skin tag removal procedures. For the most part, having the tags removed tends to involve being subjected to invasive procedures. You will definitely experience some pain. Now what it boils down to you is how willing you are to endure pain just so you can achieve your goal of having your skin tags removed.

Finally, in deciding whether or not to have skin tags removed, you need to figure out whether you can bear the cost associated with skin tag removal procedures. If you are truly keen on being free of skin tags, then there is no other way around it, especially if you are financially capable and you can afford the cost of the procedure. Go for it.

The fourth consideration would now focus on the risks. The skin tag removal procedures are not without risks so you should weigh how ready you are to take them on. Infections are likely to crop up and they do appear when pathogens make their way into the body through the openings on the skin that were created during the procedure itself. There may also be allergic reactions to the anesthesia administered. Or you could end up developing ugly scars in the places where the tags were removed from. Ultimately, you have to figure out whether the benefits associated with the procedures are worthwhile.
