ABOUT:





They typically occur in characteristic locations including the neck, underarms, eyelids, and under the breasts...occur in locations where skin rubs against other skin or clothing.





They are much more common in middle age and they tend to increase in prevalence up to age 60.


Hormone elevations may cause an increase in the formation of skin tags.





Skin tags are a type of growth or tumor, albeit a completely benign and harmless one. Tags are not cancerous (malignant) and not found to have potential to become cancerous if left untreated.





REMOVAL:





There are several effective medical ways to remove a skin tag, including removing with scissors, freezing (using liquid nitrogen), and burning (using medical electric cautery at the physician's office).





Usually small tags may be removed easily without anesthesia while larger growths may require some local anesthesia (injected lidocaine) prior to removal. Application of a topical anesthesia cream prior to the procedure may be desirable in areas where there are a large number of tags.





Dermatologists (skin doctors), family physicians, and internal medicine physicians are the doctors who treat tags most often. Occasionally, an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) is needed to remove tags very close to the eyelid margin.





I hope this helps! :)
