Why do skin tags appear and are they harmful in any way?

You know what I'm talking about when I say "skin tags"? They are just little pieces of skin that grow on your skin that stick out a little bit. They are not any different color, just a little bump almost.

Why do skin tags appear and are they harmful in any way?
They're not harmful. Some people just get them as they grow older.





A doctor can easily remove them. If you're not squeamish you can remove them yourself with clean nail clippers or nail scissors.
Reply:Skin tags seem to be hereditary, and are harmless. However you ought to have a dermatologist look at them. If the skin tags are on your neck where a necklace or shirt collar rubs them perhaps your doctor would freeze them off for you. You could freeze them with an ice cube to lessen pain, and snip off with a little scissors.
Reply:They are not harmful at all, just very annoying.
Reply:As far as i know, skins tags form when the skin's switch off growing mechanism does not stop. The skin in the particular area just keeps on growing and the tag forms.





They won't actually cause harm, but will hurt if they care caught. You Doctor can remove them either by freezing them off, or by cauterizing the base and then cutting them off. You can also tie a piece of cotton around the base of it until it drops off. This can hurt, so be careful.
