The weird and wonderful world of Skin Tags … Skin tags are harmless growths that can appear anywhere on your skin, but often develop on the neck, eyelids, or underarms. They may be the same color as your skin or darker. Some are pink. Others turn red when irritated. You may see one dangling from a stalk, while another is firmly fixed to the skin.
With all this variation, there is one thing that acrochordons (medical name for skin tags) seem to have in common. Many people want to remove them.
These growths can appear anywhere on the skin, but they usually develop where skin has been rubbing against skin, jewelry, or clothing for some time. That’s why they usually occur in one or more of these areas:
Breasts (beneath)
Eyelids
Groin
Neck creases (or where clothing or jewelry rubs against the neck)
Underarms
Skin tags are also commonly found on the sides, abdomen, or back.
Because they develop where skin rubs against skin, people who are overweight, pregnant, or have loose skin are more likely to get skin tags.
You also have a higher risk of developing skin tags if you have diabetes, metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, unhealthy blood sugar levels, extra fat around your waist, or unhealthy cholesterol levels), or a blood relative has skin tags.
It’s important to keep in mind that these growths are harmless.
Because they’re harmless, a skin tag only needs to be removed if it:
Becomes irritated or bleeds
Develops on your eyelid and affects your eyesight
Feels painful, especially when the pain comes on suddenly
A skin tag can become irritated if it frequently rubs against jewelry, clothing, or a seat belt. Shaving can also irritate it, especially if you nick the skin tag.
Or if you simply want rid of it!
These tags can be removed very quickly and results are usually permanent, multiple tags can be removed in one session.
