I've been sick for a little over 2 years now. When I first got sick I got a few skin tags here and there. One on my neck, one on my eyelid, one in my armpit.
After starting treatment I stopped getting skin tags, but recently I started getting them again.
Is this a bad sign? does it mean that my other symptoms will soon be back?

Certain epidermal growth factors are up-regulated under conditions of inflammation, and skin tags may be the result. Certain antibiotics have anti-inflammatory properties and the killing of bacteria also reduces promodulatory inflammatory factors. It makes sense that the tags would reduce or stop when under treatment and reemerge after.
