Skin tags on armpits, caused by shaving?

I have small brown patches of raised dry skin, almost like little skin tags, on my armpits. They aren't painful but are quite noticeable, particularly where they cluster together, and I feel very conscious of them. I went to the doctors a few years ago when I first started getting them and she stated there was nothing I could do?

These are harmless and can be removed medically by laser or you can pinch the blood out of them and whilst doing so tie them off with nylon line or similar . After a few days they will drop off.They are caused by the skin rubbing together and also appear at the top of the inner thighs. Hope this helps.
Reply:I developed skin tags on different parts of my body while pregnant with my first child, and my OB/GYN said I could have them removed if I wanted to. I chose not to (why not? you ask... I don't know...) I'm pregnant again and have one on my pit now, and have full intentions of having them removed after I give birth. Maybe you should try another doctor, because if a mole can be removed, why not a skin tag?
Reply:Oooh I've got them too, I'll be watching for solutions!
Reply:most skin tags are flesh colored and appear where clothes rub
