NUTRITION DOC: Skin tags are not to be ignored. It's your body shouting it needs diet & lifestyle changes. Mostly, skin tags are a sign of underlying insulin resistance, characterized by high insulin resistance & impaired carbohydrate metabolism

AN and skin tags should be considered clinical markers of hyperinsulinemia in nondiabetic, obese patients.  -- A. Plascencia Gómez, et al. 

The solution?  Fix the diet with carnivore.

The Chief Herbalist recommends the pencil plant to eliminate skin tags, comparing skin tags to warts.  If skin tags are the equivalent of warts, why not use Compound W on them?  Chief Herbalist doesn't provide any proof that the pencil plant is the remedy.  I would say that the insulin resistance theory best accords with their presence.  

One of the best plants to remove tags and warts from the skin is the pencil plant.

Break the stem of the plant and apply the latex on the affected skin. The tag will fall off and the warts will be cured.

The Nutrition Doc at least provides an argument, something to sink your exploratory teeth into in an article titled, "Skin Disorders in Overweight and Obese Patients and Their Relationship with Insulin," A.  Plascencia Gómez, M.E. Vega Memije, M. Torres Tamayo,  A.A. Rodríguez Carreón, Science Direct, March 2014.

Results

In total, 109 patients (95 adults and 13 children, 83.5% female) were studied. The mean (SD) age was 38 (14) years and the mean body mass index was 39.6 ± 8 kg/m2. The skin conditions observed were acanthosis nigricans (AN) (in 97% of patients), skin tags (77%), keratosis pilaris (42%), and plantar hyperkeratosis (38%). Statistically significant associations were found between degree of obesity and AN (P = .003), skin tags (P = .001), and plantar hyperkeratosis. Number of skin tags, AN neck severity score, and AN distribution were significantly and independently associated with insulin levels.

Conclusions

AN and skin tags should be considered clinical markers of hyperinsulinemia in nondiabetic, obese patients.
