Skin tags, medically known as acrochordons, are small, benign growths that typically appear as soft, hanging skin flaps. They often occur in areas where the skin folds or rubs against clothing or jewellery, such as the neck, armpits, groin, and eyelids. Skin tags are usually painless and harmless, but they can cause discomfort or be cosmetically bothersome for some individuals.
