What SKIN TAGS Really Mean (What Causes Skin Tags?)

hi I'm dr. ken berry I'm a family physician and in the next few minutes on this very short video I want to discuss with you a skin sign that means something that you may not know that it meant that your doctor in fact may not know that there's a direct correlation between skin tags and a very very dangerous metabolic syndrome and so that's what we're going to talk about in this this video so what skin tags really mean millions of people have skin tags there looks like there may be a little bit of a genetic

component in other words if your family has skin tags then you may be a little more likely to have skin tags there may be a viral component to this we're not sure but by far the vast majority of the cause of skin tags especially if you have multiple skin tags and if you don't know what skin tags are though those little tags of skin usually you have them around your eyes you can have them on your neck under your armpits in your groin area dermatologists will tell you this is where skin rub skin but the

problem with that theory is there are millions of people out there with eyelids and armpits and groins and they don't have any skin tags at all but their skin rubs together just like mine and yours so there must be something else something deeper going on and that's what I want you to learn in this short video so the the medical term for skin tags is a crow codons or a crow cordons and they're benign they're never cancer you don't have to worry about that but what you have to worry about it's what's going on inside

your body the skin tag itself is not dangerous at all you have to have a minor surgical procedure to have the skin tag removed but removing all the skin tags on your body does not remove the risk of the syndrome that's going on inside your body the big danger from skin tags is metabolic syndrome insulin resistance hyperinsulinemia pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes there is a direct association between the number of skin tags that you have on your body regardless of where they're at and your risk of developing hyperinsulinemia pre-diabetes and ultimately type-2 diabetes there's also

a direct relationship between the number of skin tags you have and being obese but that's not because just being obese cause of skin tags it's because of the metabolic syndrome insulin resistance hyperinsulinemia that's what's causing your skin tags and so you can go to a skin specialist or a family doctor I've removed thousands and thousands of skin tags in my career but if they don't tell you hey you know you can keep these from happening you can actually reverse the ones that you already have it make them get smaller and smaller and go completely away

I don't mind chopping off skin tags all day it pays very well but I think you'd rather fix the underlying problem and that's the fact that you're just eating too many carbohydrates in too many processed carbohydrates there's actually a diet that tens of thousands of people have used to shrink or completely reverse and remove their skin tags and that is the low-carb keto carnivore Banting Adkins diet these diets all lower your blood sugar levels back to low normal they lower your insulin levels back to low normal and that that gets rid of the hyperinsulinemia gets

rid of the blood sugar spikes and then your skin tags just start to go away now if you don't believe me and I understand you may not I want everyone who's used low-carb keto carnivore as for weight loss or whatever you used it for but you've also noticed months later in the shower a month later looking in the mirror hey my skin tags are gone if that's happened to you put that in the comments because so many people who are new to this way of eating they don't believe these sorts of things and I don't

blame them you're like wait you don't cures everything what are you talking about doc read the comments if you're unsure about this and watch the hundreds and hundreds of comments of people who say yeah when I went keto low-carb carnivore Banting my skin tags went away and I just don't make skin tags anymore so there may be a genetic component that makes up one or two percent of your risk of developing tax there may be a viral component that makes up one or two percent of your risk of developing skin tax skin tags don't go

away on their own if you're eating the standard American diet or a high carbohydrate diet I just keep getting bigger and you keep getting more and more as years go by and I know you don't want that so I'm gonna put a little pop-up window either here here of the diet that's gonna make your skin tags go away now it's no one to go to the doctor and go ahead and have the minor surgical procedure that just whacks them off basically go and do that that's fine but if you don't correct the underlying problem they're

just gonna come back and they're gonna bring their friends so what's the videos that pop up here and if you enjoy this video please subscribe to this if my videos have helped your health in some way then please consider clicking on the patreon link down below it's a quick sign up and you can throw a buck or two my way so that I have more time and more resources to make videos just like this this is doctor Barry I'll see you next time
