What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags, or acrochorda, are basically soft and small hanging tags of skin that are like a peduncle or a fleshy stalk. Skin tags have unknown symptoms and these are benign skin growths in nature. Occasional scratching or rubbing of the skin may worsen this skin condition. Skin tags appear whenever there are trapped bunches of collagen and blood vessels in thicker skin.
