SKIN TAGS
 

Description

Skin tags (acrochordons) are small growths of skin that some people develop on the face, neck, armpits, and the groin. The medical name is acrochordon. They are harmless and do not become cancerous or malignant.

Cause

The tendency to develop skin tags is inherited (runs in families). The precise cause is unknown.

 

Treatment

  • Surgical Removal

What Can Be Done?

Skin tags do not need treatment. If skin tags become sore from rubbing clothing or jewelry or if you find them unsightly, they can be removed surgically. Healing is usually complete in a week or two. New skin tags may form even if all existing tags are removed.
