What are Skin Tags?

Skin tags are a common skin growth which is typically benign and poses no medical threat. These skin tags protrude or grow from the skin and are connected to the surface of the skin by a narrow branch. Usually they are small, vary in size and thought to possibly grow due to the rubbing of clothing. Most skin tags are the same color as a person’s skin, or a little darker.
