SKIN TAGS
A skin tag is a common growth that looks like a small piece of hanging skin. Skin tags may vary somewhat in appearance, they are usually smooth or slightly wrinkled and irregular, flesh-colored or slightly more brown, and hang from the skin by a small stalk.
Skin tags can occur anywhere there is skin. but they are common in areas such as the eyelids, neck, armpits, upper chest; and groin folds. Skin tags generally cause no symptoms unless they are repeatedly irritated by clothing or skin folds. Most skin tag removals are cosmetic and can br treated by removing with scissors, freezing, or burning.
Skin tags may occur in anyone and are often preasent in adulthood. They arise more readily in areas of skin friction or rubbing so tags are also more common in overweight people and in middle age and they tend to increase in frequency up to age 60.
