"Skin tags are very common - and while they are benign in themselves, it is important to watch out for any changes, experts say"
"In 2021, a very pregnant Paloma Faith posted a bath selfie, with a caption postscript that read: "Pregnancy skin tags?! I look like you could pin me to a pin board I've got so many.""
"Her post might be the only time a celebrity has drawn attention to these tiny flappy bits of skin that are most frequently seen on the necks of middle-aged people, and were often subjected to old-school DIY removal strategies involving dental floss or sewing thread (don't try it at home, folks)."
Skin tags are very common benign skin growths that frequently appear on the necks of middle-aged people and can also occur during pregnancy. These growths are small, flappy pieces of skin that are generally harmless but should be monitored for any changes. Celebrity reports have increased public awareness of pregnancy-related skin tags. Traditional DIY removal methods such as using dental floss or sewing thread have been commonly used in the past. Home removal with such methods can be unsafe and is not recommended. Regular observation and professional medical advice are advised if changes occur or removal is desired.
