10 Causes of Skin Tags
Cause #3: Obesity
Skin tags can also arise because of obesity. This makes sense because obesity and diabetes are often (but not always) closely linked, and diabetes can certainly cause skin tags. However, not everyone who has diabetes will develop skin tags.
On the other hand, if you suffer from obesity it is more likely that you will develop skin tags. This is because your skin becomes stretched out and there will be more surface area available for skin tags to arise.
Also, if you are overweight your body is trying to cope with more weight than it was meant to handle. This can contribute to hormonal problems and issues with producing collagen, which can cause skin abnormalities such as skin tags.
