Although completely harmless, skin growths are common and usually appear on the eyelids and neck, as well as in less visible areas such as the armpits, groin folds and under the breasts. They can be found in both men and women, although they are more likely to develop in middle-aged people, especially those who suffer from obesity. Although some small tags may rub off or come off spontaneously, most tags remain on the body once they are formed. Skin tags usually appear during pregnancy. These distractions can be easily removed during or after pregnancy.
