Skin tags are common, harmless skin growths that often develop in areas where skin rubs together, such as the neck, underarms, eyelids, and groin. While noncancerous, they may become irritated or cosmetically bothersome.
Symptoms & Causes
Skin tags typically appear as small, soft, flesh-colored growths attached to the skin. Friction, genetics, aging, and weight fluctuations may contribute to their development.
