Hi


Skin tags are painless skin colored elevations in the skin.
They mostly develop in certain areas of body where there is friction between skin areas.
Skin tags are commonly seen over neck , axilla , thighs and genitals.
They have to be particularly differentiated from warts which might resemble in appearance .
Pain is quite uncommon in skin tags unless they develop a hemorrhage .
