What are 
Skin Tags?

These are non-cancerous growths (made up of blood vessels and collagen) found on the skin. A small, thin stalk called a peduncle connects it to the skin. Skin tags are normally smaller than 2mm in size, but some might grow to several centimetres. They are soft and painless to touch.
