Skin Tags

Small, noncancerous growths that are typically the same colour as the skin are called skin tags. Often, they resemble a mass of skin tissue sprouting from a little stem. Skin tags are benign growths that range in quantity from one to hundreds. Skin tags are equally likely to occur in males and women. They can occasionally be more subtle and resemble elevated moles. The majority of skin tags typically measure between 2 and 5 mm in diameter, however some can grow up to be several centimetres wide, ranging from 1 to 5 cm.
