Hello,
thanks for the query.
Skin tags are common and acquired non cancerous and harmless skin growths. Some individuals are more prone to develop skin tags but generally skin tags are common in adults and in obese or over weight individuals and is also thought to be hereditary related to an extend.
Tags are thought to occur in characteristic friction (friction with dress as well) locations including the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin folds, and under the breasts.
Skin tag-like bumps that bleed, grow, or display multiple colors like pink, brown, red, or black can require a biopsy to exclude other causes like skin cancer.
Removal of a skin tag does not cause more to grow. Some people may be more prone to develop skin tag and when they are removed more grows.
Treatment options for skin tags are varied and include freezing, tying off with a thread or suture, or cutting off.
