Skin tags look like little balls of skin stuck to our bodies. They look likd of like moles but are not the same texture.

Skin tags are very small pockets of skin that are about the size of a popcorn kernel... they are just skin. They are not moles, cancer or zits. There are most common in men under their arms. I have seen some on eye lids. They can be just about anywhere on the body and are easily removed by a doctor.

They are little 'flaps' of skin. They are really common in the obese (that is what my dermatologist said) and occur usually under the breasts, armpits and neck. They are easily removed. They are not bothersome unless they are in a location that gets rubbed by something like a bra strap, seatbelt. They hurt when irritated, otherwise just unsightly little skin flappies.
