Why Do We Get Skin Tags? Causes, Risks & How We Safely Remove Them at TSY Beauty Care

Many clients who visit TSY Beauty Care always ask us the same questions:

“Why am I getting skin tags? Why do they seem to be increasing?”

Skin tags are extremely common, especially around the neck, underarms, chest, and eyelids.
They are harmless but can affect appearance — and if left untreated, they usually become more obvious over time.

In this blog, you will learn:

• Why skin tags develop

• What happens if you don’t remove them

• Why cutting them off yourself is dangerous

• How we remove skin tags safely in just ONE session at TSY Beauty Care

+P What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are benign (non-cancerous) soft skin growths that appear as small, raised bumps.

Common areas include:

• Neck

• Chest

• Underarms

• Eyelids and eye area

• Any area with frequent friction

They are not caused by bacteria or viruses.
The main reasons they appear are skin friction, slower skin metabolism, and aging.

+P Why Do Skin Tags Appear? (Causes)

1. Constant Friction (Most Common Cause)

Collars, necklaces, underarms, chest area…
Friction in these areas stimulates the skin to form small raised bumps — eventually becoming skin tags.

More friction → Higher chance of skin tags
Bigger skin tags → More friction → Grow larger or multiply

This is why many people keep noticing new skin tags appearing.

2. Skin Aging & Slower Metabolism

As we age, the skin’s renewal process slows down.
Dead skin cells accumulate easily, leading to small raised growths.

3. Hormonal Changes

Pregnancy, menopause, high stress levels, and obesity can cause hormonal fluctuations that trigger more skin tags.

4. Genetics

Some people are simply more prone to developing skin tags.
Once the first one appears, more may follow.

+P What Happens If You Don’t Treat Skin Tags?

Skin tags will NOT disappear on their own.
They also won’t “dry up and fall off naturally.”

Instead, they will:

• Become more visible

• Keep increasing in number

Common issues include:

1. They Multiply Over Time

Friction stimulates more skin tags to grow.
Some clients come in after a few years with “1 skin tag that became more than 10.”

2. They Become Bigger, Softer & More Noticeable

Small ones may be subtle, but if left untreated, they can grow longer, softer, or swing slightly — making them more obvious.

3. Larger Skin Tags Take Longer to Remove

Small: quick, clean removal
Large: may take longer and might bleed slightly (normal & safe)

That’s why we always recommend:
“The earlier you treat them, the better.”

4. They Can Get Irritated from Clothing or Accessories

Many clients come in with skin tags that are already red, painful, or inflamed from rubbing.

5. Cutting Them Yourself Is Dangerous

Many people try to:
Cut with scissors
Tie with thread
Burn them at home

Dangers include:

• Continuous bleeding

• Wound infection

• Scarring or dark marks

• Growing back larger

• Extremely risky around the eyes

These DIY methods are unsafe and not hygienic.

+P How We Safely Remove Skin Tags at TSY Beauty Care

We use a professional skin tag removal device designed specifically for different skin tag sizes.

Step 1Skin Assessment

We evaluate the size, depth, and number of skin tags.
(Large or eyelid-area tags require extra care.)

Step 2Numbing Cream

To ensure comfort, we apply numbing cream before the procedure.
Most clients say:
I only felt a tiny sensation very tolerable.”

Step 3Professional Skin Tag Removal

We use a precise device to remove the skin tag at its base.

What to expect:

• Small skin tags: no bleeding

• Medium size: may bleed very slightly

• Large size: a small amount of bleeding is normal

But:
No pain, no scars, no marks.
We remove the entire base to ensure it won’t grow back — usually in one session.

Step 4Small Scab Formation

A tiny scab (dark dot) forms after treatment.
It will naturally fall off in a few days.

Short recovery time, no disruption to daily life.

Step 5Post-Treatment Care

We provide calming and healing care,
and guide you on simple aftercare to prevent marks.

+P When Should You Get a Skin Tag Removed?

You should consider removal if:

• The skin tag is getting bigger

• The number keeps increasing

• The neck or face looks uneven or textured

• It gets caught on clothing and becomes painful

• It’s on the eyelid or affects your appearance

• You worry it may grow more over time

Earlier removal → Faster healing → Lower chance of pigmentation.

+P Frequently Asked Questions (SEO Optimized)

Will a skin tag go away on its own?

No. It will usually get bigger or increase in number.

Does skin tag removal hurt?

We use numbing cream, so you will only feel a slight sensation.

Will it bleed?

Small tags won’t bleed.
Bigger ones may bleed a little — completely normal and safe.

+P Final Thoughts: Skin Tags Are Not Dangerous, but Early Treatment Is Best
