What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags, or acrochordon, look like tiny, soft pieces of hanging skin, often attached by a stalk. They are harmless and typically appear after mid-life. Contributing factors include genetics, obesity, and diabetes. Hormonal changes also make them more common during pregnancy.
Skin tags often form where skin rubs against skin—such as the armpits, groin, under the breasts, eyelids, and neck—but they can appear anywhere on the body.
