Skin Tag or Something Else? How to Identify and Treat It Safely
Small growths or bumps on your skin can be concerning, especially when you’re unsure of what they are. Skin tags are a common condition, but they can often be confused with other skin issues such as milia, warts, or moles. Understanding the difference is key to choosing the right treatment. At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we specialize in safe and effective removal techniques, helping you address skin concerns with confidence.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that typically form in areas of friction, such as the neck, armpits, under the breasts, or groin. They can also appear on the eyelids or face.
Appearance: Skin tags are flesh-colored or slightly darker, soft to the touch, and usually attached to the skin by a thin stalk.
Causes: Skin tags often develop due to friction, hormonal changes, or genetics.
How to Differentiate Skin Tags from Other Skin Conditions
Not all bumps are skin tags. Here’s how they differ from other common skin concerns:
Milia: Small, white, pearl-like bumps caused by trapped keratin beneath the skin.
Warts: Rough, raised growths caused by a viral infection.
Moles: Pigmented spots or growths that can vary in size and may need to be monitored for changes.
Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs beneath the skin that can be tender to the touch.
If you’re unsure about a skin growth, it’s always best to consult a professional for proper identification and treatment options.
