9. Skin Tags
Skin tags are a commonly occurring, small growth of skin that typically occur during the middle years of life. They tend to appear on areas of the body that have a crease, like an armpit, and are brown or red in color. The vast majority of them do not cause any issues and can be removed by a healthcare professional as a quick, outpatient procedure.8Pandey A, Sonthalia S. Skin Tags. [Updated 2020 Jun 1]. In: StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2020 Jan-. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK547724/ Sometimes people will choose to get them removed if the skin tag causes pain from getting caught on clothing or if the person just does not like the look of it.
At 9%, skin tags do not occur as often as other signs of PCOS.5Keen, Mohammad Abid et al. “Cutaneous Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Clinical Study.” Indian dermatology online journal vol. 8,2 (2017): 104-110. doi:10.4103/2229-5178.202275 Luckily, as mentioned above, if skin tags do become a part of a person’s PCOS signs they are quite easy to take care of.
