A photograph of a patient having skin tags treated using a silver nitrate stick to cauterise any bleeding A skin tag is a small piece of skin that may have a stalk called a peduncle Skin tags may appear on the skin almost anywhere although the favorite locales are the eyelids neck armpits upper chest and groin Skin tags are almost always benign Skin tags are predisposed by heredity That is if a persons parents have skin tags there is a high likelihood that they will also have skin tags The removal of skin tags is generally a cosmetic consideration as they very seldom constitute a health threat
