ACHROCORDONS

Acrochordons

Acrochordons are not warts. Acrochordons are small benign skin appear that grow especially in areas that are prone to friction as the area below the chest, neck, armpits or groin, and sometimes appear on eyelids. Its appearance may be due mainly to rubbing skin to skin caused by the same obesity. They ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS!

Risk factors:

Gens

Obesity

Diabetes

Pregnancy

Acrochordons are not contagious and may be related to Diabetes II which is a disease usually related to people with obesity, and who have very bad eating habits. They are also related to genetic or hereditary causes. You can even get them temporally because of hormonal changes due to pregnancy. They are not painful, but people who get them,  tend to seek medical help mostly because they look very unpleasant, and  they want to have an aesthetic alternative to remove them.

Best thing to do if you already got them is to visit your doctor to assess the method of removal, however, is no guarantee that never again appear if you are not seriously committed to changing your diet habits, and exercising more frequently. There are some people who recommend home remedies and some unhealthy techniques to eliminate them but I personally, recommend you  to visit the dermatologist in order to avoid  unnecessary risk infection that could aggravate the aesthetics of your problem.

We now know that skin tags are related to Diabetes II, GENS, AND OBESITY. Therefore, you should drastically change your diet, eating healthy, reducing carbohydrates and sugars, avoiding a sedentary lifestyle, and exercising daily.

I sincerely hope that through this blog you can help others by sharing this information. Thank you :)
