Skin tags are non-cancerous growths, most often forming in the folds of the body (e.g. the neck, on the underarms, and around the groin). Skin tags can develop on any individual, however they are found most commonly in overweight people, as well as individuals who have Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Skin tags are fairly common among persons, in fact 59% of all people have experienced a skin tag on their body at some point in their life.
