Skin tags(皮贅) 是常見的皮膚增生,表現為皮膚柔軟、凸起的腫塊,通常為良性腫瘤。研究顯示,近 50% 至 60% 的成年人在一生中至少會長出一個皮贅,且在 40 歲之後其發生率會增加。男性與女性皆受影響,發生率相當普遍。 Skin tags, also known as 'acrochordons,' are commonly seen cutaneous growths noticeable as soft excrescences of heaped up skin and are usually benign by nature. Estimates are that almost 50 to 60% of adults will develop at least one skin tag in their lifetime, with the probability of their occurrence increasing after the fourth decade of life. However, at the very outset, it should be noted that acrochordons occur more commonly in individuals suffering from obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome (MeTS), and in people with a family history of skin tags. Skin tags affect men and women equally.
據報導,一般人群的盛行率約為 46%,且女性的發生率高於男性。若需移除,經訓練的專業人員可採用燒灼、冷凍、切除或雷射等方式。
○ 診斷與治療
出於美容考量,可於醫院以雷射方式將其去除。
