Skin Tags, otherwise known as Acrochordon, are incredibly common and are identified as very small growths that are soft to touch. They re the same colour as the flesh or dark pigmented tissue. Skin tags that hang from the skin (pedunculated) are often referred to as skin tabs.
Skin Tags often appear on the eyelids, underarms, the groin, under the breasts and neck. Males and females can develop anything from one to a hundred skin tags.
