What are Skin Tags?
Skin tag is the non cancerous growth that appears in the form of small bits of skin-colored tissue. These types of growth are usually seen hanging from certain parts of the skin surface. The most common body parts that develop skin tags are: neck, armpits, bust line in women and groin region.
A skin tag is nothing, but a part of your skin which appears either in skin color or is sometimes slightly dark in appearance. It is small in size and fleshy that sometimes grows in large size. But when they increase in size, it starts accumulating blood. However, there are no nerves within skin tags.

Usually, there are various body parts that regularly suffer from friction of the skin. Skin tags are formed around those skin areas that face continuous rubbing. For example, your neckline that faces constant rubbing near the collar region. This thing usually occurs due to high neck shirts that you wear for a continuous period. Apart from this, a person is likely to have skin tags under their armpits as clothes get caught. Moreover, constant sweating damages the skin under your arms and develops irritation that ultimately leads to the formation of skin tags.
Many times, women develop skin tags under the bust and beneath the bra strap. Besides this, the groin region develops skin tags due to continuous wearing of tight elastic underwear. This is nothing, but the result of friction that leads to the development of skin tags in such skin areas.
