What Is a Skin Tag?

Skin tags are common, benign growths of skin that virtually everyone has on their bodies. They don’t pose a threat to your health, but they can be annoying. Skin tags are caused by the friction of skin rubbing against skin. Therefore, they’re most common in the groin area, underarms, and neck. When skin tags occur in areas where your clothing rubs them, they can become inflamed and painful.
