Skin tags are not big deal. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, they develop on those of us who have reached middle age, are pregnant, have diabetes, and (you've guessed it) have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
There isn't much to say about them, except that I'm adding them to my ever-growing list of wacky PCOS-related symptoms.
I find PCOS confusing in that there are silos of illnesses that have individual treatments which are easily overlooked. It isn't until someone takes a few steps back that they begin to see the PCOS picture developing. It is so easy to write symptoms off as related to stress, age, pregnancy, menace, or menopause; when in fact a collection of small, seemingly unrelated symptoms can be markers for a broader concern.
