Hypertension
This causes the blood vessels to swell from being squeezed against surrounding tissues and organs, which may lead to the formation of skin tags. In addition, depending on the individual, other contributing factors related to lifestyle could cause this condition, such as obesity or pregnancy.
A doctor will typically run tests to determine other possible causes for these growths before diagnosing them as skin tags. The most commonly used test involves a biopsy, where a small piece of tissue is removed from the development for examination under a microscope.
If your doctor finds that skin tags are caused by hypertension and you are suffering from high blood pressure, then they may recommend lifestyle changes such as weight loss or lifestyle changes such as weight loss or smoking cessation. The doctor may also prescribe medications to help lower your blood pressure.
