Skin Tags, Picking and When to See a Clinician
Skin tags are usually harmless growths that supplements do not remove, and Gelagen makes no claim about them. Picking at spots and marks can cause scars and infection. See a clinician for anything that bleeds, changes, hurts or will not heal, and do not try to cut or tie off a growth yourself.

What is a skin tag?
A small, soft, skin-colored growth, often in folds of the neck, armpits or groin. Friction, weight and genes play a part. Most are harmless, and no vitamin or supplement is known to remove them (AAD, Supplement myths).
Why not remove one yourself?
Cutting or tying can bleed, scar and infect, and a growth that is not a tag could be something else. A clinician can remove a tag safely in a few minutes, and can look at the tissue if there is any doubt.
What about picking?
Picking at spots or scabs can cause marks that last longer than the original blemish, and can spread infection. If picking feels hard to stop, you are not alone, and a clinician can help. Keeping nails short and hands busy can reduce it.

See packsWhen should you get a check?
If a spot bleeds, changes shape or color, hurts, grows quickly or does not heal in a few weeks. Do not wait on a supplement. The healthy skin habits page covers daily care, and the skin health basics guide covers what skin does. If a spot has been there for years and has not changed, a clinician can tell you quickly whether it needs any action at all. Most visits take only a few minutes, and the reassurance alone can be worth the trip, so do not put it off out of embarrassment.
