    I have one skintag on my back of neck a bit big.. isn't dangerous?

    • @Torontodermatologycentre
      @Torontodermatologycentre  2 года назад

      If in fact it is a skin tag, even if large, it is not dangerous. Unfortunately I have seen many skin cancers and other growths on the neck which were self-diagnosed as skin tags. For any diagnosis of any skin condition, lesion, etc, always go to a skin expert/dermatologist. It could save your life.

    I have noticed a benign growth of skin tags on my neck which I have never seen before and it wasn’t there a year ago but I am seeing a lot more on my neck now and when I run my fingers down my neck, I can feel it. Please let me know what should I do? F 26, I have put on weight during quarantine -_-

      Weight gain, pregnancy, and diabetes are common causes of rapid development of skin tags. Best to see your dermatologist to remove these skin tags safely and properly and with no scar, and ask to get tested for diabetes as well.

    I had one in my armpit that hurt randomly right now so I cut it off with some nail clippers. Am I going to die ?

    • @Torontodermatologycentre
      @Torontodermatologycentre  2 года назад

      We'll all die eventually. Hopefully you properly cleaned the skin tag and didn't use rusty nail clippers, and then you should be fine.

    I went to dermatologist last year 2016march and took all my skintags since they are growing fast. But right now i could see tiny bits coming back again.. Can u make a video on how to make it grow slower?
    I thi k this is hereditary though

    • @Torontodermatologycentre
      @Torontodermatologycentre  7 лет назад

      The only way to affect skin tag growth is by keep weight stable or losing weight. Increased weight increases the number, size and recurrence of skin tags. Other causes for skin tags such as getting older and genetics are not under your control.

      Most important thing is to get a proper diagnosis, see your dermatologist to confirm and then to review treatment options. I've had many people come to me for "skin tags" which turned out to be moles, or warts, or keratoses or skin cancer, or other things...

    I went on a 10 day juice fast detox and my skin tag fell off ! First it doubled in size, than and became red than blue than black.At that point it was about 3x bigger than 5 days earlier, than started to shrink and dried up and fell off. There is not an even bump on that spot.

      Certainly doesn't sound like a skin tag based on its behaviour. Get a dermatologist to assess it for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

      They literally explained what skin tags are, benign growths that stick out of the skin and what is the main factor(s) that causes it, what are you even looking for.
