Skin tags, are small benign t u m o r s that form primarily in areas where the skin forms creases, such as the neck, armpits, and groin. They also occur on the face, usually on the e y e l i d s. They range in size from two to five millimeters, although larger ones have been seen. The surface of acrochordons may be smooth or irregular in appearance. O f t e n, they are raised from the s u r f a c e of the skin on a fleshy stalk called a "peduncle."
Skin tags are harmless, although they are sometimes irritated by clothing or jewelry.
