What Is a Skin Tag?
A skin tag is a small, painless, harmless growth of flesh that usually forms in areas where the skin wrinkles, such as the eyelids, armpits, and neck. It can be the same color as the skin or it may be slightly darker. It clings to the skin using a small rod, the peduncle. On the same site, we find it alone or accompanied by others. Adults and the elderly are more affected. It can easily be mistaken for a wart or a mole. Although harmless, it can be disturbing and unsightly at times. If left untreated, it can turn red and irritated from bleeding from rubbing or black from twisting.
