"On whether glycolic acid can remove skin tags"

Everyone suffers from the disease of male skin tags, and there are many people who seek a way to remove them. Now that glycolic acid is used more and more widely in skin care, people doubt whether it can remove skin tags. This really needs to be explored in detail.

Glycolic acid belongs to the α-hydroxy acid class. Its molecule is small and has strong permeability. It is often used in skin rejuvenation. In the stratum corneum of the skin, it can loosen the connections between keratinocytes, make old and waste keratin shed, and promote epidermal cell renewal. This property may be related to the removal of skin tags.

However, the cause of skin tags is complex, and it is mostly caused by the proliferation of skin fibrous tissue and affected by friction and hormonal changes. Although glycolic acid can improve the surface layer of the skin, it is controversial to use it to remove skin tags.

Some people argue that glycolic acid can use its effect on the surface layer of the skin to improve the skin microenvironment around the skin tags, or make the skin tags fade away. However, some commentators say that the structure of the skin tags penetrates deep into the dermis, and glycolic acid only acts on the epidermis, making it difficult to remove the skin tags from the root.

If you want to try to remove skin tags with glycolic acid, you must be cautious. Try it before a small area of skin to see if there is any allergy or And when using, you need to follow the correct method and frequency, not excessive, so as not to damage the skin.

In short, the effect of glycolic acid on the removal of skin tags has not yet been determined. If patients need to remove skin tags, in addition to considering glycolic acid, they should also consult a professional doctor, choose the appropriate method according to their own conditions, and must not use it blindly, causing skin damage.
