Hi all,

Does anyone have multiple skin tags related to insulin resistance?  I have these horrible tags and would like to get rid of them. I understand they are harmless in an of themselves, but that they are strongly related to insulin resistance--I've also been recently told that I have the beginnings of insulin resistance.  Certainly I will lose weight, etc..., but was wondering if there were other ways to get rid of these tags short of having them cut off by a dermatologist (which my insurance will not pay for since it is considered cosmetic).

thanks,

Elcamino

My Mother and I are both type II diabetics. We have had multiple skin tags all our lives. We have tried in vain to find out why we had so many, but nothing made any sense. Your post is a revelation! I started looking online and found a lot of references to this phenomenon. I wish I could have known this years and years ago - that it was a signal for type II years - before I was diagnosed. Thanks for the heads up! I will let my daughter know about this simple to read symptom.

I found this online:

I have skin tags! Actually, my regular doctor removed some a few years ago when I had a regular appointment. (I guess she didn't have a full schedule that day because of the extra time she took doing it.) So, el camino, you might ask your regular doctor instead of going to a dermatologist.
