Skin Tags
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Skin tags are small, soft bumps of skin, the same color as the skin or somewhat darker, that usually hang from a narrow base. They frequently appear in fold areas such as the neck, armpits, and eyelids.
Common features: They are generally benign, painless lesions that can become irritated by rubbing against clothing or accessories.
Common causes: They are associated with repeated rubbing of the skin and are more common with age; at times they are related to metabolic factors.
Which specialist treats them? The dermatologist is the right professional to examine them and distinguish them from other lesions, while the internist can provide guidance when they are linked to general conditions. If one of these lesions changes in appearance, bleeds, or causes discomfort, it is worth showing it to a professional for review.
