Skin Tags
Skin tags, or acrochordons, are small, harmless growths on the skin. They tend to grow in armpits, on the neck, around the groin, on the eyelids and under breasts.
Almost everybody is affected by skin tags at some point in their lives and the cause is not completely clear, but they appear to occur when skin rubs against other skin or clothes.
