10 Causes of Skin Tags
Cause #10: Brit-Hogg-Dube syndrome
This condition isn’t known for causing skin tags in adults, but it can cause them in children. It’s not a very common disease, but if you notice that your child is developing abnormalities on their skin, you should take them for a medical evaluation. Many parents assume that skin tags are simply warts, but they can be markers of a much more serious problem.
Brit-Hogg-Dube syndrome causes skin tags because it hinders the development of the immune system and makes a child more susceptible to the development of tumors, cancer, and other problems related to the skin. Skin tags related to this condition are most likely to appear on the upper body and face.
