Skin tags are small, benign growths that often appear on the skin, typically in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. They are usually flesh-colored or slightly darker and can vary in size from a few millimeters to larger than a centimeter. While they are harmless, some people may choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated. Consulting a dermatologist is advisable for proper diagnosis and removal options, which can include freezing, cutting, or tying off the tag.
