A Skin tag (the medical name is Acrochordons) is a small tumor and 99.99% of the time it is completely harmless and non cancerous. The exact cause of skin tags is still unclear but it is basically a small skin growth that attaches (and feeds off) the skin via a small stalk.

Skin tags vary in size, but most of the time they are quite small and some can get very long with strong stalks attaching it to the skin. It’s most common on areas of the body where there is frequent abrasion and the armpits, eyelids, neck and under the breast or even the genital areas are most affected.

Skin tags can affect anyone. The majority of cases seems to be people who are overweight and obese and part of the reasons for this is attributed to excess skin and excess abrasion of the skin. Older people are most affected by skin tags and women are more prone to it – especially during and after pregnancy. There’s also been a lot evidence that skin tags are hereditary.

This skin condition can affect you in many different ways. Although it is mostly harmless it is very unsightly and most women who suffer from skin tags can have severe self consciousness because of it. Most people don’t understand skin tags and that’s why it often gets a lot of stares and even comments.
