What, Why and How

Skin tags are soft, tiny growths on the skin, which can develop in areas of skin that have folds or those that are affected by skin to skin rubbing. These tiny growths have the same color as your normal skin. They occur mostly in older people and that’s the core reason why old people tend to have more skin tags than the younger ones. Pregnant women may have skin tags as well because their hormonal level changes in the tenure of pregnancy.
