Skin tags are growths that are raised from the skin’s surface and typically no larger than a grain of rice, though some can grow larger. Although skin tags are usually harmless and painless, they can sometimes be a source of discomfort. Some skin tags can also rub against nearby skin or clothing and become irritated, painful, or bloody. Growth of skin tags may not be preventable, but simple steps can be taken to remove them.
