Are skin tags dangerous?

No just a nuisance, although I did get one caught in the zipper of my coat once. Ouch!

Are skin tags dangerous?
not that I have heard..just sort of gross...if you can swing it, see the dermatologist and get them zapped off
Reply:A skin tag is a soft, skin-colored growth that hangs from the surface of the skin on a thin piece of tissue called a stalk. Its medical name is acrochordon. Skin tags are not skin cancer and cannot turn into skin cancer.
Reply:Yes.
Reply:I have a number of them all over my neck and under my arms. My doctor told me that as long as you don't cut them off they should not be a problem, at least not cut them off yourself. They can cause skin cancer if you mess with them too much.
Reply:Not at all! My daughter was born with one on her ear, I had it removed when she was 6 months old.
Reply:Not unless they get irritated or infected which may happen if they get routinely chafed.





Mine went away when I started getting my blood sugars under control (hypoglycemic). www.hufa.org has info on hypoglycemia.
