Skin Tag Consultation
Skin tags are soft, skin-coloured growths that can appear on your skin. They're very common and usually harmless. Skin tags often match the colour of your skin or may be slightly darker. Some may look stuck on or as if they are hanging off your skin. They usually don't hurt and are not a big problem. Skin tags can be as small as a tiny dot or as big as a button. Sometimes, you might have just one, or you could have several of them.
You might find skin tags in places where your skin rubs together or in folds of your skin. Common areas include:
> Your neck
> Under your arms
> On your eyelids
> Beneath your breasts
> Around your bottom
They are removed surgically under local anaesthetic, after which they can be analysed in the labs, if appropriate.
