You have an 80% chance of developing diabetes in the

near future, according to Dr. .

I started developing skin tags a couple years ago and

now have been diagnosed as a diabetic.

is rthere any truth to this, or has anyone experienced eith an increase or a

decrease in skin tags. recently i seem to be getting more.

[Guest guest]

Well, I'm sure no expert on any of this, to say the least. But my

experience with skin tags was definately hormonal in cause.

Get the hormones straightened out, they disappear. At any rate,

that's what happened with me. And I do not have diabetes

Halleluia!! Something I don't have!!

Dear Gail,

Well done research!

Interesting connection with chromium and diabetes and skin tags.

Many doctors have said that diabetes is simply chromium deficiency.

Chromium (and vanadium) help insulin to get sugar into the cell.

Repeated testing over the last thirty years has shown that 80%

of people are chromium deficient. Very few of our soils have any chromium in

them.

Brewer's yeast is a good source.

Best of Health!

Ok, folks, one more time. What are skin tags? Am I the only one that

doesn't know this? I even went to the famous dictionary. They have skin,

skinbound, skin deep, skin-dive, skin diving, skin effect, skinflint, skin

friction, skinful, skin game, but NO skin tags.

Never mind, folks. Had a brainstorm and did a websearch instead. DUH!!!

forgot I had a computer, too much skin on the brain and not enough brain

there! Here's what I found:

Skin tag (acrochordons) are small growths of skin that some people develop

on the face, neck, armpits, and the groin. The medical name is acrochordon.

They are harmless and do not become cancerous or malignant.

The tendency to develop skin tags is inherited. Precise cause unknown.

Dont need treatment, but if bothersome, can be removed surgically. New skin

tags may still form. Some people have their skin tags disappear if they

take chronium picolinate 200mcg. twice daily. Must be taken for 3 months to

see results, and if you stip taking the chromium the tag will recur.

Hi PJ, They look like little flat, deflated balloons hanging from you skin.

Apparently, they can get quite large.

Can someone please describe skin tags? How big, what color(s),

location, etc. You read about them, but never a description or photo.

Thanks pj

I've had skin tags as far back as I can remember.

I am NOT diabetic!

So much for another good doctor...

Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code!

Thought I'd chime in as I remembered my ex husband sprouting those

little tags at least 15 yrs ago, and it may have been more like 20. I

found out that he was dxed with type II diabetes last September.

To keep that sounding like a cause and effect scenario (who really

knows?), I'll also mention that his grandmother was a type I and my ex

has always followed a diet from hell.

So perhaps skin tags *could* be a warning to follow a low glycemic diet,

just in case...........

It worked for me, Rosemary. I put it on straight, during the day whenever i

thought about it. They just kind of dry up and fall off. It's a lot better

than having the doctor burn them off too. I made up a batch of emu oil and tons

of the tea tree for my friends stallion (yes, her horse) who had a really large

and long spore wart hanging down under his chest. Within one week, half of it

fell right off and the rest a week later. I mixed it with emu oil so it would

pull the tea tree deeper into the skin and added beeswax so it would stay on

him. Boy, did it ever work !!!!

Hope this helps,

Hi Rose ,

> I was told by someone that skin tags are a virus.

Not as far as I know. My daughter was born with them, as was my husband.

The pediatrician told me they're just extra flaps of skin. Hers were

removed by tying a string (looked like dental floss, but heck if I know what

it was) around them, which cut off the circulation. They " died " and fell

off within a short time. Hubby still has one tag or flap left. The others

were around his neck, and from what he told me, his wearing chains when he

was younger took care of them. I don't recommend that method however since

it can be painful.

This isn't to say there isn't a wart of some type that looks similar to skin

tags. Warts are caused by viruses.

> applying tea tree oil morning and night that they

> should go away after about a month.

If it is a wart, and not just a flap of skin, Tea Tree may indeed take care

of it. Tea Tree is well known for its ability to fight off and kill

nasties, so if it's a wart, I'd go ahead and try it. Would definitely be

less painful than having it burned off, not to mention avoiding the scars.

Just be sure to dilute the Teat Tree in a carrier oil before application.

Wish Tea Tree, and the knowledge behind it, had been available when I was a

child and had warts burned off by the doctor.

Hi, Rose ! Skin tags are not viral, but warts are. I began getting MANY

skin tags about six months ago and have tried every cure I could find. Some

of the more popular ones are taking chromium picolinate in large doses for

at least three months and putting castor oil on the tags 3-5x per day. I

tried tea tree oil (because it seems to be a cure-all for almost

everything!) and did not have any luck it ... but it sounds as if some

people do.

A tried-and-true cure is to blend 1 tbsp cleavers with 1 tbsp finely ground

oatmeal and then blend with enough castor oil to make a paste. Place the

paste on the tags and cover with a bandaid, replacing 3-5x daily. This

worked for me!!

No one is sure of the true origin of skin tags. Suspected causes are

hormonal changes and plain ol' aging. Some people also believe the location

of the skin tag indicates a problem on the body's interior in that area.

There's some controversy as to whether skin tags in the genital/anal region

are indicative of colon polyps, but it wouldn't hurt to have a colonoscopy

if many skin tags are showing up in that area.

It was recently suggested that skin tags are the result of insulin

resistance. Chromium Picolinate is said to be a cure for skin tags, but I

don't think the tags are caused by insulin resistance but rather by hormonal

fluctuations that the chromium alleviates. My belief is that Chromium

Picolinate (commonly used to improve blood sugar levels by removing or

diminishing insulin resistance) has other hormonal effects that are not yet

recognized by the mainstream medical community. I base this belief on the

fact that I've been a diabetic since I was two but only recently began

getting skin tags. I've been on high dosages of Chromium Picolinate for the

last three years and still got the tags. Increasing my dosage did not

alleviate them, but the cleavers mixture did.

Skin tags are one of those things that nobody seems to be able to figure

out!! I know what a bother they can be!!!

Rose -

This kind of reckless misinformation that your friend gave you always

makes me insane! LOL! Skin tags are NOT a virus. They tend to grow in

areas that receive a lot of friction, like around the collar line or bra

line, or underarms. They are just an overgrowth of skin cells. While

they are not related, studies show that people who have a tendency

towards skin tags also have a greater incidence of skin cancer.

They will not go away if you apply Tea Tree neat day and night for about

a month. What can and probably WILL happen instead is that you will

sensitize yourself to Tea Tree EO.

Please, take a look at the archives for last week, and what I said to

Prakash about skin sensitization. Take it from one who is sensitized,

it just ain't worth it for the sake of experimenting.

Best wishes-

I can't answer about the virus idea although it doesn't sound right to---but

common sense isn't always correct.<smile> Anyway, I do know something that

works for skin tags(and keloids) and that is the following:

1 part helichrysum EO

1 part sage EO

3 parts rosehip seed oil

Apply a drop or two(two for the larger scarring, 1 would do for most

tags)several times a day fro several weeks. I used a variety of that on bad

scarring(I replaced the sage with carrot EO as my scars were keloided *and*

old)and, after about 4 months of conscientious use(4xday in my case)I saw the

beginnings of what, in 6months time, became a dramatic improvement on my old

scars. Nature's magic sometimes gets abandoned before it has time to work it's

gentle way in this 'have to have it right now--take a pill and fix it' world.

Good question. It is tiny little flaps of skin that usually develop around

warm areas where there is friction. I have three around my bra area under the

arm. Most people I know who have them are older (over 50) but I am sure there

are exceptions.

Rose

[Guest guest]

LOL ... good question! They're growths of skin, perfectly benign, that can be as

small as a pinhead or as large as a grape. Because they tend to grow

perpendicular to the skin and really stick out, they get easily irritated. (I

have one on the back of my knee that regularly gets the top shaved off when I

shave my legs. It still won't go away! LOL) They can also become infected if not

cared for, properly. Most people only get a few, but I used to have at least 20.

In a nutshell, they're a real bother and are NOT pretty.

Interesting, my husband (non CFS/FMS) has diabetes and he gets skin tags

all the time. He also has a lot of keratoses and he didn't really get a

lot of sun in youth but loves to tan his arms now (they are all over his

back now). I use the wart freeze can now rather than go to the doctor

as we have no health insurance. From high blood sugars? Yes, for him.

Hi ,

I remember reading that skin tags can be a sign of blood sugar problems. I used to have a few before I started eating less carbs (bread, pasta etc) to make sure my blood sugar is not going up and down with carbs that are not heathly. Now I stick to the carbs in veggies and eat good organic protein. Mine have disappeard since I have done this. Just a thought. Best, Kathleen

Hi,I had some skin tags before starting iodine. I got them during my pregnancies and they have stayed pretty much the same for the past 5 years. Since starting iodine two months ago one skin tag grew much larger and two new ones have formed. Has this happened to any of you? i have tried using the iodine topically but so far no change. It is tricky to apply topically and not stain clothes. Is decolorized iodine okay to use for this?Thanks!

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Tie some Dental floss around skin tags and they will fall of in a few days.

This works!!! I got rid of 2 skin tags.

Cheers Val.

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for the input! I should definitely work harder on my diet. I have heard

they often start during pregnancy and I wonder if blood sugar is more of a

problem then. I haven't changed anything (dietwise)other than adding in the

iodine and companion supplements so I didn't know why they would be getting

worse right now. One interesting thing is that every time I up my iodine dose

one of my detox symptoms is watery eyes and one of my eyes gets very red. I

have never had skin tags on my face but these two new ones are on my eye

(lovely) and it is the eye that gets red.

I will try lowering carbs and see what happens.

Thanks!

Hi Val,

Thanks! I will give it a try. Unfortunately the two newest ones are on my

eyelid at the lash line so I have no idea how to remove those. I have never had

skin tags on my face!

Did yours get worse when you started iodine?

Thanks!

I also got tiny skin tags on my eyelids, (both top and bottom) at the time I didn’t connect it to iodine, just thought it might be age related, as many of my relatives have skin tags. I used the white iodine, it smells like ammonia, and just dabbed a little on each tag every morning on bare skin after washing. I tried first using a Q-tip to apply it, but found I had better control just using my fingertip to apply a little, as I could feel where I was touching. I had 7-8 tags, some went quicker than others, but within 6 weeks they were all gone. Sometimes my skin got irritated and it stung, a few times I got the iodine in my eye and it stung, but I stayed with it and it worked.

So good luck, I know they can be a bit distressing when they are right on your eyelids.

These may be styes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stye

Perhaps a very diluted Lugol's eye wash (not sure of amounts, haven't done it

before but have read where other have) or an eye wash with colloidal silver? At

the very least a warm saline compress and keeping the area very clean.
