over the past year my white blood cell count as been extremely high but one thing I have noticed is that the amount of skin tags i had as almost tripled. I've tried asking the oncologist about this without getting any response . As anyone got any ideas ??

Hello Dave. Skin tags are harmless. They develop when skin rubs together and are more common in people with type 2 diabetes and are more prevalent in older, overweight individuals due to extra folds of skin. I don't think you need to worry about it too much. They are not dangerous. 🌿

Thanks for the information like I said I seem to have more now since my white cell count went crazy. Obviously the language barrier here is always an issue 👍🏼😂

I doubt it has much to do with high white blood cell count. 🤔

Try the chemist, there is a liquid you can use, all you do is dab it on. If not then go on the net, it will be there.

Trusting myself to dab something on to make it drop off maybe not a good idea I might dab something important 😜😂😂😂😂😂

Advise you to have them checked by your GP or Oncologist if causing you concern. Dr Google will tell you they are not dangerous, which is mostly true. But skin tags can come in different forms, shape, raised , fluid filled etc ..🌹

Will try again with the oncologist but when I broached the subject before it got sidetracked but it is a one to one this time so who knows 👍🏼👍🏼😉🌹🌹
