I have never heard of skin tags being related to candida. However,

too high blood sugar (insulin resistance) can cause a candida

overgrowth. My own candida infection got pretty bad earlier this

year despite controlling blood sugar. However, no sign of skin tags

reappearing. So my guess would be the link with candida is

indirectly through high blood sugar.

What plan are you following? If you have a candida overgrowth then

there are certain foods you should not be eating even while on a low

carb plan. Some low carb plans are too high carb to deal with

candida (eg Schwarzbein principle)

Good luck with the diet!
