Skin tags can vary in colour, shape and size. They are soft features that tend to occur on the neck, armpit or groin and despite not being overly obvious – they can affect our self-confidence.

What are skin tags? 

Skin tags are very common soft harmless lesions that appear to hang off the skin.

Skin tags develop in both men and women as they grow older. They are skin coloured or darker and range in size from 1mm to 5mm. They are most often found in the skin folds (neck, armpits, groin). They tend to be more numerous in obese people and in those with type 2 diabetes.
