How do determine if it is a skin tag?
How can I determine a skin tag? Basically what are the characteristics of a skin tag and how can I be sure if what I see on my skin is a skin tag. Does a skin tag grow in size (looks as if inflated)  and decrease in size again (as if deflate)? Does it have a hormonal influence?
