5 Surprising Facts you don't know about Skin Tags

Rare Locations: While skin tags typically occur in folds of skin, they can sometimes appear on unexpected parts of the body, like the tongue or even on the sclera (white part) of the eye.

Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome: This is a rare genetic condition associated with multiple skin tags, among other symptoms. It can also increase the risk of certain types of tumors.

Not Just A Human Condition: While common in humans, skin tags also appear in other animals, including certain breeds of dogs.

Rarely Recur: Once a skin tag is removed, it rarely grows back in the same spot. However, new skin tags might form on other parts of the body.

Hormonal Component: Beyond pregnancy, other hormonal changes (like those seen in acromegaly, a condition where there's too much growth hormone) can also lead to the formation of skin tags.

Here's a Disproportional Life Hack:

The Ultra-Hydrating Overnight Hand Treatment:

Instead of merely applying hand cream like most people, follow this multi-step procedure for super-soft hands:

1. Exfoliation: Start by exfoliating your hands using a homemade scrub. Mix sugar and olive oil to form a paste and gently massage it over your hands to remove dead skin cells.

2. Steam: Heat a pot of water until it produces steam. Hold your hands over the steam (at a safe distance) for about 5 minutes to open up the pores.

3. Deep Hydration: Apply a thick layer of your favorite heavy-duty moisturizer or hand cream.

4. Lock in Moisture: Now, for the disproportionate part: Put on a pair of cotton gloves. Over those cotton gloves, put on a pair of rubber or latex gloves.

5. Heat: If you have them, slip heated microwaveable mittens (like those used for arthritis) over the gloves. If not, you can heat a towel in the dryer, wrap it around your gloved hands, and secure it.

6. Sleep On It: Go to bed with this get-up. You'll look a bit ridiculous, but by morning, your hands should be incredibly soft.
