Skin tags. I've never had that term
00:00:01
before.
00:00:02
>> Yeah. Skin tags are not moles. So moles,
00:00:05
you can feel this bump on your on your
00:00:06
skin, right?
00:00:07
>> But a skin tag has a neck and like a
00:00:10
little mushroom. And it's the most
00:00:13
annoying thing when patients come and
00:00:14
say, "Well, I just tried to cut them all
00:00:15
off, but they kept bleeding." I'm like,
00:00:17
"Do not cut them off." They'll fall off
00:00:21
when your insulin's lower. So that's the
00:00:23
first place. It'll be found in their
00:00:24
armpits or places where their skin rubs.
00:00:26
So armpits and they're growing. And once
00:00:28
insulin starts to grow them, it's like a
00:00:30
crop. A crop of little baby cauliflower
00:00:32
hanging out in their armpits.
00:00:34
>> You talked about velvety skin.
00:00:35
>> Yes.
00:00:36
>> As well being an indicator.
00:00:38
>> Velvety skin is this Latin word
00:00:40
aanthosis nigraans, which is fancy word
00:00:42
that means the skin is darker and
00:00:45
thicker. The places that usually happens
00:00:47
is the back of the neck. I tried to wash
00:00:49
my neck. It's it's dirty all the time.
00:00:51
It's not dirt. It is the way the skin is
00:00:55
under the the curse of high insulin. And
00:00:57
you see it in teenagers all the time
00:00:59
now. They put on weight and their growth
00:01:02
hormones are already doing that teenage
00:01:04
thing. Now you put high insulin in there
00:01:06
and they have this dirty neck syndrome
00:01:08
or on the creases of their elbow. It's
00:01:10
just darker here. That's not normal from
00:01:13
high insulin.
