10 Causes of Skin Tags
Cause #5: Pregnancy
There are numerous reasons that being pregnant can contribute to the development of skin tags. Just like diabetes, the hormonal imbalances that occur in pregnancy can cause skin tags. Women who are bearing children often have difficulty maintaining regular hormonal balance.
Another factor that can contribute to the development of skin tags is the growth and stretching of skin around the abdomen. This can cause problems with collagen production as well as increased friction between the skin and the clothes.
