Skin tags are small, soft growths that hang from the surface of the skin on a thin stalk. They are usually flesh-coloured or slightly darker and commonly develop in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, underarms, groin, eyelids, or beneath the breasts.
They are completely benign (non-cancerous) and typically painless. However, they can sometimes catch on clothing or jewellery, causing irritation or bleeding.
Skin tags are very common in both men and women, particularly as we age.
The exact cause of skin tags isn’t fully understood, but they are thought to develop due to a combination of factors, including:
They are not dangerous and are not caused by poor hygiene.
Because skin tags are largely influenced by genetics, skin friction, and natural ageing, there is no guaranteed way to prevent them.
However, early treatment can prevent irritation, snagging, or cosmetic concerns. Professional removal is the safest and most effective option.
