What Causes Skin Tags On Inner Wrists And Calves?

Hi I have noticed small skin colored non itchy bumps first on my inner wrists then on my lower back calves. They are not painful and wouldn t even know they are there except by sight. Could it be perhaps celiac? My sister has this disease. Thank you

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that can occur in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. Its presentation iclude development of other autoimmune disorders like Type I diabetes and multiple sclerosis (MS), dermatitis herpetiformis (an itchy skin rash), anemia, osteoporosis, infertility and miscarriage, neurological conditions like epilepsy and migraines, short stature, and intestinal cancers.
Hence, your condition may not be celiac. However consult a dermatologist and take opinion.
