Question: I have a strange soft red patches on my lower stomach, along with a few small skin tags.

I think the patch condition is Tinea of some kind, it's been like this for months maybe over a year, it fades when I apply tea tree oil but then it always comes back. It never grows or spreads.

I don't know what's causing the skin tags. Maybe friction? Should I trim the hairs around that area? Or leave them alone? I don't know what's going to make things worse.

Can I remove the skin tags myself somehow?

1. Are these patches itchy? - No not at all. Except sometimes if there’s friction there, but very rarely.

2. All these patches have appeared suddenly or they appeared one by one? The soft red patches have basically been like that for over 1 year or more, I can’t remember how it started, I think slowly but it hasn’t been growing or spreading at all for over a year.

3. Since how long you have the skin tags? Did they appear along with patches ? I can’t remember, there was the big one that’s been there for a while and the smaller ones came after, I can’t remember how or when.

4. Do you have any other systemic disease such as Diabetes? – Not that I know of. I regularly take thriva blood tests and show no signs of any problem health wise, or diabetes.

5. Anyone else in your family having similar complaints? No

Hi,

Just sent.

If they're not good enough I can take other ones.

thanks

Understood.

with the skin tags in particular, is there anything I can do to avoid new ones in the future?

Is it caused by moisture? Friction?
