The areas where my night sweats are, is where my skin tags.appear. Does sweat fertilize them?

Skin tags are on and around my eyes, scalp, neck, chest, groin stomach, arm pits and where ever I sweat. Tag growth increases with night sweat increase. HELP!

I have the same problem, except I do not have skin tags around my eyes, neck or scalp.





Yes, I definitely believe sweat promotes the growth of skin tags.





I would talk to your doctor or an endocrinologist about some type of medication, or what diet you should be on, in order to either curb or eliminate your night sweats.
Reply:Try washing frequently with a delicate soap, such as Ivory bar soap (the liquid has additives that may exacerbate the problem.) Also use a light dusting of baby powder; too much will form clumps which will make the problem worse. You should be checked by a skin specialist; this is not normal, and you shouldn't have to endure this. I would imagine that the components of sweat act as a food source for pathogenic bacteria which can be a factor in skin eruptions. See a dermatologist! They might want you on a food-elimination diet to rule out food sensitivities and/or allergies. And don't scratch, which can cause skin sensitivity and tears which will lead to infection. Use Aveeno cream as an anti-itch cream until you get this attended to, and polysporin as a broad-spectrum skin antibiotic if necessary. Your doctor should refer you. Good luck...
Reply:Have your dermatologist check them out, she might be able treat or even suggest removing them. It is a very simple and painless procedure to remove them.
