SKIN TAG REMOVAL

Skin tags are soft, noncancerous growths that usually form within the skin folds of the neck, armpits, breasts, groin area, and eyelids. These growths are loose collagen fibers that become lodged inside thicker areas of the skin.

It’s unclear exactly what causes skin tags, but they may develop from friction or skin rubbing against skin.

Skin tags are also extremely common, affecting almost half of the population
