How to remove skin tags, dietary care is essential

Skin tags are a common disease. If a single lesion is painful and causes distress to the patient, surgical removal can be performed, or cryotherapy can be tried. After treatment, patients should eat less high-estrogen supplements, avoid caffeinated foods like chocolate, carbonated sodas, concentrated starchy pastries and fatty dairy products, hormone-laden meats and processed sugars.

1. Treatment measures for skin soft fibroma

Surgical removal if necessary. Intralesional corticosteroid injections can also be used for treatment. If a single lesion is painful and causes distress to the patient, surgical resection may be performed, or cryotherapy may be tried.

External treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine: such as external application of Veratrum ointment, which can reduce the scope and transfer the poison from deep to shallow; or use ammonium mercuric chloride (white mercury) mixed with rice to make a paste for external application; apply Wanying ointment externally, change the dressing once every 2 to 3 days, so that the tumor will necrotize and fall off, and then use Shengji Powder for local healing.

Intradermal injection of corticosteroids: For multiple skin lesions, 1 ml of triamcinolone acetonide (Conacone A) (containing 40 mg of triamcinolone) can be injected into the lesions once every 2 to 3 weeks. If it is difficult to inject more corticosteroids, you can freeze the lesions with liquid nitrogen before injection to make them edematous and soften before injecting the hormones.

Prognosis: The lesions often persist but may resolve on their own after a few years. Some patients may develop multiple cutaneous soft fibromas. After radical surgery for a buttocks tumor, the sciatic nerve and iliac bone are often exposed, both of which require thicker tissue repair. The tensor fasciae latae myocutaneous flap can be used for immediate transfer. Its nutrient vessel is the transverse strip of the lateral femoral circumflex artery, which enters the myocutaneous flap from the junction of the upper and middle 1/3 of the muscle. The length-to-width ratio of the myocutaneous flap can reach 15×35-40cm, and the donor site is sutured in the first stage.

2. Diet care for soft fibroma

Eat fewer high-estrogens supplements, avoid caffeinated foods like chocolate, carbonated sodas, concentrated starchy pastries and fatty dairy products, hormone-laden meats and processed sugars. Switch to a low-fat, vegetarian diet because a high-fat diet not only contributes to obesity but also leads to imbalanced estrogen levels, which is the primary cause of the development. Eat less high-animal fat. Excessive fat intake will accumulate in the breasts, increasing the burden on the breasts and aggravating the condition. Eat less greasy food.

The diet should be regular and reasonable, that is, mainly high-protein and high-vitamin foods. Choose plant or animal protein with high nutritional value, such as milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, various soy products, etc. Various fresh vegetables, fruits and melons are rich in vitamins and have high nutritional value.

1. Asparagus: Asparagus is rich in various amino acids, proteins and vitamins. The aspartic acid and trace elements such as selenium, molybdenum, chromium, manganese, etc. it contains have the effect of regulating the body's metabolism and improving immunity. Regular consumption can prevent skin cancer.

2. Cauliflower: Cauliflower contains a lot of trace element molybdenum, which can block the synthesis of carcinogenic nitrosamines and play an anti-cancer and cancer prevention role. In addition, studies have shown that an enzyme called radix carotene extracted from cauliflower can prevent cancer and increase the activity of carcinogen detoxification enzymes.

3. Mushrooms: Mushroom foods include winter mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, as well as white fungus and black fungus. These foods contain anti-cancer substances, such as polysaccharides, crude fiber and calcium, and eating them regularly can improve the body's immunity.

4. Carrots: Carrots are rich in carotene, and its anti-cancer effects have been confirmed by scientists. In addition, carrots contain volatile oils, vitamins B1, B2, C and various amino acids. Vitamin C can prevent the synthesis of carcinogenic nitrosamines in the body and has anti-cancer effects.
