Skin tags are smooth, soft, skin lesions that can be found around the groin, on the neck, armpits, under the breasts and on the eyelids. They formulate on parts of the skin that rub against other skin or clothing. Although skin tags most commonly develop on the neck, chest, armpits, and eyelids, they can also appear around the groin.
