I had skin tags removed before, but they grew back very quickly. Is it due to genetics?

The problem of skin tags or warts recurring. The main cause is indeed genetic. Which serves to determine the underlying risk, but the return... "Unusually fast" It is usually caused by two complicating factors: Non-radical treatment (Treating too shallowly allows the original cells to regenerate.) For example, using rubber bands, acid, or trying to cut or pull it off yourself doesn't remove the root. Physical stimuli especially Insulin resistance Or obesity, which stimulates the skin to divide faster than normal (I have many patients in this group), as well as friction from clothing. Therefore, effective treatment isn't just about laser removal, but also managing weight and reducing friction.

Genetics is the "blueprint," but it's not the sole cause.

The question is: "Is it because of genetics?" The doctor can answer right away that... "Yes, it's a very important part."
If your parents or direct relatives have many skin tags (seborrheic keratosis) or skin tags, you are more likely to get them than the general population. It's like we inherited them. พิมพ์เขียว It turns out our skin is ready to produce this excess tissue.

But! The fact that it's back... "very fast" It may not be solely due to genetics. There are often other contributing factors, such as:

Why do they recover so quickly after being robbed? (Two cases)

The doctor wants the patient to observe carefully whether the recurring spot is exactly the same as before, or a new spot nearby.

1. If it grows at the same spot (Regrowth) = the root is still there.

This is often due to a previous treatment. Not all of it was removed. Yes

  • To put it simply: Similar to "Mowing the lawn" If we just trim the topsoil, the grass will look neat and beautiful, but... grassroots It remained underground, and after a few weeks, the grass grew back in the same spot.
  • Medical: Some skin tags have deeper roots than usual. If the doctor doesn't use enough laser energy (CO2 Laser) because they're afraid of causing scarring, the remaining cells can regenerate very quickly.

2. If the increase occurs at a "new point" nearby (New Growth) = stimulating factor.

This is what's even scarier than genetics: Behavior and hormones

  • Friction: Does the patient frequently wear necklaces, stiff collars, or have weight gain caused creases in the neck or armpits? The more friction there is, the more the skin tries to create skin tags to protect itself.
  • Insulin resistance: This is what doctors worry about most: if a patient develops polyps that spread unusually rapidly, it may be a warning sign of... Diabetes Or it could be abdominal obesity, because high insulin levels stimulate skin cells to divide abnormally.
