All you need to know about skin tags

Discovering a tiny skin tag -- or several skin tags -- on the neck or under the arm can be alarming. But there's no reason to worry, skin tags are harmless. They're not cancerous and they don't increase the risk of any kind of cancer. Skin tags are usually oval flaps of tissue that hang from the skin on a tiny stalk. They may appear alone or in a group. Typically, they're the size of a grain of rice, but they can be smaller or larger. Rarely, they can get as big as a grape. They're common and almost half of all people have a skin tag at some point in their lives. They commonly occur increases on folds of the skin.
