Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER. You should not be embarrassed to let your doctor or 

nurse know about this.  Just let them know there is something in the skin that you 

would like for them to look at. You believe is skin tags.  

You are not the only one with this condition. 

Skin tags are very common but harmless, small, soft skin growths.

Skin tags occur on the eyelids, neck, armpits, groin folds, and under breasts.

One person may have anywhere from one to over 100 skin tags.

Almost anyone may develop a skin tag at some point in their life.

Middle-aged, obese adults are most prone to skin tags.

Obesity is associated with skin tags.

Removing a skin tag does not cause more to grow.

Some people are just more prone to forming skin tags.

Treatments include freezing, tying off with a thread or suture, or cutting off.  

Best
