What Causes Skin Tags? The Link Between Diet, Insulin, and Metabolic Health | EP 392.A

Most people think skin tags are just a harmless cosmetic issue — something you remove and forget about.

The truth is, these small changes on your skin can sometimes be early clues that something deeper is going on.
