What Causes Skin Tags?

All a skin tag is a small flap of skin that hangs off of the skin. They are nothing to be afraid of. They are most often found on the chest, neck, back, armpits, around the groin area and under the breasts. Skin tags appear most often in elderly people and women with weight gain.

skin tags are believed to be caused by the rubbing of skin against skin. This is why they are usually found in skin creases and folds. This is also why overweight or obese people are more often to get skin tags.

How To Remove Skin Tags

A dermatologist can get rid of skin tags by burning the skin tag offs with an electric current (electrosurgery), freezing them off (cryosurgery), or cutting them off with a scalpel or scissors.
