It is worth checking skin tags when they become irritated by clothing, bleed, or change in appearance, although in most cases they are harmless. Skin tags are small, soft skin growths that hang slightly from the surface, common on the neck, the armpits, and the eyelids.
Common features: they are skin-colored or somewhat darker, soft to the touch, and usually appear in areas of friction.
Why do they arise? they are associated with skin friction, hereditary factors, and certain metabolic changes.
The dermatologist is the professional who evaluates these lesions and confirms their benign nature. If they bother you or you notice they change in size or color, a review with a specialist clears up any doubt.
