In this video I'll uncover the real cause of why people get skin tags.
The growth of skin tags is a problem that millions of people face today. It's more common than ever before
and it continues to be on the rise. A lot of people don't understand why they're getting
skin tags. Why is it happening to me, many people think. so that's why in this video
we're gonna break down the real cause of skin tags. How to remove them naturally and of
course how to avoid them. So stick around to the end but before we get started. I'm

ahead and talk about these skin tags that are very frustrating to a lot of people. Now
the reason this topic is coming up is because I recently had a patient who came in and started
asking me about their skin tags and I knew that they were already being managed by another
doctor. So I said well you know make sure that you're just following your doctor's advice
on how to avoid them and you're gonna be just fine. They said well my doctor told me that
there's nothing you can do; he just has to keep removing them. I thought to myself well
hold up here no there's a lot you can do and that isn't the answer to keep going and get
in getting them cut off. The answer is actually make the changes so that you don't get them
anymore. So that's what I'm gonna help you do in this video but also teach you how you
can get them removed naturally. So you don't have to go in and get them cut off. So let's
go ahead and talk about the skin tags and some common names they fall under because
some people go well. I don't have skin tags. My doctor said I have acrochordon and it's
like okay well these are aka. So it's important to understand the aka so that you could follow
along with this topic if this is something you have an issue with. So the most common
name is skin tag. This is what most people are familiar with but they also fall under
different names such as fibro epithelial polyp, acrochorden's, cutaneous papillomas,and also
soft fibromas.Okay so if a doctor tells you that this is something you have it's typically
aka skin tag. So be aware of that. Now a common association as to why a lot of people are
getting these. Okay because it's really interesting when you dig into the science because a lot
of people will tell you that well it's all these different reasons and there's no specific
reason as to why people are getting these. The truth is first of all there's very strong
associations and then breakdown the exact reasons as to why these are happening. So
it's strongly associated with middle-aged adults, obesity. So if somebody who is obese.
You know what that's about someone who is overweight if you have 10-15 pounds extra
weight associated with that. Acanthosis nigricans basically is when somebody has like black
patches around their neck. They have in their armpits this is also a person who typically
has insulin resistance, who is obese. I mean this is somebody who is going to get skin
tags at some point if you have this stuff going on. It is strongly associated with people
who have high cholesterol and also high blood sugar. Okay so these are the strong associations
that they find time and time again. If somebody comes in with skin tags they typically have
these other issues. Let's go ahead and talk about some of the common locations that people
are getting skin tags. Now when you look at common locations many people see them on other
individuals necks. Okay or maybe you've even had a couple show up in your own neck or different
areas where your skin rubs together. So eyelids are one major area that people get them. Upper
chest is one as well between the breasts typically in females. Neck, groin area and also in the
buttocks area. So these are all areas that many people are getting skin tags and this
is typically where you have a problem. You don't typically have one that just shows up
in the middle of your leg or something like that that would be very rare and so these
are the common locations. Now common reasons. Okay we talked about strong associations.
Let's talk about the exact scientific breakdown as to why these are happening. Now there is
a science saying that basically it can be a genetic problem. Okay but here's the thing
is I have yet to see skin tags on somebody who is a healthy vibrant individual who's
eating a good whole food diet, who is exercising, taking care of themselves. It just hardly
ever happened so for me that the genetics will be very very low on the list because
it's something that has never shown up for me. So genetics is low on the list even though
science does point to genetics can be a reason as to why it's happening. Pregnancy is another
reason there I have seen this before where basically someone's who's pregnant they go
have a few skin tags show up out of the blue. It's more of a rare situation but it can happen
as well. Pregnancy is one and then insulin resistance. This is where like every one of
them shows up okay that if you're someone who has insulin resistance this is a strong
strong reason that you're going to have skin tags. There's actually a study in 2010. What
they did is they took 201 people and they evaluated them. At the end of the study what
their conclusion was is that there was a strong correlation with skin tags, insulin resistance,
and obesity. Okay so we saw all the association's. We see what some of the research is leading
to and then of course there's genetics and pregnancy. Which I believe are the more rare
of the cases. Okay so for the most part insulin resistance is a major issue for people who
are trying to avoid getting skin tags. Okay insulin resistance, skin tags. Obesity, skin
tags. Being overweight you get it. Metabolic syndrome as well. Now let's go ahead and talk
about how to remove them. Okay because like I said there was this individual who came
and talked to me about it and they just kept going to the doctor he kept chopping them
off but there's a few other things that you can do that work very effectively. I also
shared this information with the person. So tea tree oil. So you can take some tea tree
oil. I like tea tree oil because it's an antiviral. It's an antifungal. It's really really great.
You can take this tea tree oil, put it on the skin tag and you're going to have to use
these natural methods. It's not going to just be a situation where you put it on the skin
tag and then the skin tag just disappears overnight. This is going to be a couple-week
process and so understand that and don't get frustrated with it but it's the natural way
to go about this. So tea tree oil you basically dab some tea tree oil on it you can throw
a band-aid over it if you choose so dab that on there and then just let it dry. It'll help
dry the skin tag out and then it'll either fall off or just start to go away. Depending
on the nature of that particular one. Apple cider vinegar is also another thing that you
can do. You'd use it in pretty much the same way that you would use tea tree oil. You're
just gonna dab some apple cider vinegar on it, leave it on there. Once again if you want
to throw a band-aid over it you can but for the most part you can just let the air get
to it and let it do what it needs to do. Vitamin E oil. I typically like to actually use tea
tree oil. I have somebody use tea tree oil, put that on it and then also follow it up
with vitamin E oil after it starts to dry up and it looks like it's going to you know
either go away or fall off. Use vitamin E oil to follow that up because it's very good
and healthy for the skin. Anybody with some skin issues vitamin E oil is also very healthy
for most things. Now the next thing on our list here this is really how you're going
to remove them naturally but this is a big one too and that's fixing your diet because
there's so many people that they go and start following a healthy diet and guess what skin
tags just disappear. Skin tags fall off. Okay so if you're someone who has a bunch of them
you want to get rid of them you can use these natural methods here but also this one is
going to be critical for not only making them go away but also for making sure that you
don't get them in your future. Let's dive into this a little bit right here because
remember insulin resistance is how it happens. So we have to reverse insulin resistance and
it makes sense right. So lifestyle must be okay . We got to go sugar-free. This is something
you have to do. You got to go sugar-free. Now the next thing you need to do is go low-carb.
Now typically if somebody has insulin resistance following a ketogenic diet is going to be
a great thing to do. Get a ketogenic diet plan, get that all listed out for you and
make sure that you're removing the sugar because you can't reverse insulin resistance and continue
to use sugar. You have to cut all sugar out of all forms of sugar, even natural sugar,
until you are better. If you're someone who's like well I heard honey's natural sugar. I
heard that maple syrup is natural sugar. So I can use that right? No, if you have insulin
resistance you have to cut out all sugar at this time. So make sure you go sugar-free,
complete a sugar-free, low-carb diet. The ketogenic diet is a great way to go about
this. Insulin resistance nutrients. Okay just like we're talking about, you can go in and
naturally stop these skin tags and naturally reverse the problem that you're facing instead
of going in and getting them cut off every couple weeks. What you can also do is naturally
reverse insulin resistance using some different nutritional formulas, nutritional compounds.
As a matter of fact what I'll do is I'll put a link right up here to a very powerful video
that I did that talks about some powerful insulin resistance nutrients that you can
take that really help bring down your blood sugar. So using different nutrients that help
bring down your blood sugar is going to be powerful. The next thing you can do is use
intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting is almost a must when you have insulin resistance
because when you are fasting for like 16 hours eating all your meals within an eight-hour
window it forces that blood sugar down. It forces insulin levels down and it also helps
you to lose a lot of weight. So if you're not familiar with intermittent fasting and
let's say all these different topics that I'm talking about right here; I will put links
in the description below to them because I mean you coming to this video understanding
the real cause of skin tags is just the start of this conversation. This is how you're going
to finish this conversation and truly master it is by jumping into some of these other
topics right here. Like I said I'll put links to all the videos I've done in the description.
So intermittent fasting is great and then insulin resistance exercise. Now there's a
specific form of training called HIIT training that is really great for people who have high
blood sugar issues. It's where you basically go and take your exercise just put it into
like a 15 - 20 minute period. Do it at a high intensity and it is incredible for bringing
down that blood sugar and also making your body more hormone sensitive. Specifically
insulin so you're definitely gonna want to check that out. What I'll do is I'll put a
link to that video right here, check that out and this way you can stop skin tags right
here.
