A skin tag is a small, brown or flesh-colored flap of skin that is usually narrow at its base and may range in size
from very tiny to the size of a pencil eraser tip. These soft, flesh-colored tags of skin are often found around the
neck, upper chest and eyelids. Depending on where they are located on the body, they have the potential to become twisted,
irritated, or inflamed.
There is no known reason for the appearance of skin tags. Skin tags occur most frequently at sites where the skin is rubbed
by clothing or other body parts. They tend to show up in hot, moist body creases. Skin tags may appear around the neck,
under the arms, under the breasts, in groin creases, and on the inside of the upper thigh area. They can be removed easily,
right in our office.
