What Does A Skin Tag Between The Breasts Indicate?

I have a skin tag between my breasts that seems to have grown quickly. This morning it was full of blood and I seem to have irritated it and it burst. It is now rather painful and itchy. Is this something to be concerned with? I do not have medical insurance right now so I don t want to have to go to the doctors office if I can help it.

hi.. skin tag are harmless..so not to worry..
dont scratch it..as they bleed or infected by doing so..
if it is irritating or painfull or you want to remove ..you need surgical procedure like cauterisation , ligation , excision or cryosurgery..
so you have to consult surgeon for that.
take care.
