Where do skin tags come from?
Cutaneous (skin)tags are very common benign skin growths that occur most often after midlife. The tags stick out of the skin, and may have a small narrow stalk connecting the skin bump to the surface of the skin. Cutaneous tags are usually painless and do not grow or change. However, they may be irritated from rubbing by clothing or other materials. Cutaneous skin tags are more common in people who are overweight or who have diabetes.

I almost flipped when I found out they are warts. The GOOD news, however, is that if you use wart remover on the very base, you make them go away. You'll be left with a small brown spot where the tag was but it will eventually fade away.
Reply:Hello SaltyTina, Skin tags are common for obese people and people that are over the age of 35. A skin tag occurs near or around flaps of skin. For example,,,, near armpit, by vagina lips, near scrotum, a persons eyelid, and in between the legs close to the groin area. They are just long stems of skin that are moblie and not painful. The only time they are irritated is when they are rubbing against clothing or another body part. They can be removed by a Gynecologist. Usually the methods are using a sharp pair of medical scissors, putting a person to sleep and either burning them off or using liquid nitrogen to freeze them off. The liquid nitrogen is the most painful of the 3 ways of removal.
