What are skin tags??

[turbonergrodude92]

So I was on a date with this girl last week and she said that she has skin tags across her lower back, I didn't know how to react so I didn't really take much notice (just nodded and smiled).. She wasn't overweight or anything so.. what are they? :/

this is quite easy to look up if you google it. skin tags are hereditary and appear usually around the neck/throat, underarms and even on navel and nipples. they are an excess bit of skin - some look like a mole others look like warts. they're natural and not contagious or dirty, contrary to popular belief they do not only affect overweight people. nothing to worry about I had two under an underarm and had them burnt off at the gp in 30 seconds. otherwise you have to cut the blood supply off so they are not nourished usually by tying thread very tightly around them til they turn blue and drop off.

skin tags are like mole-like lumps but they are harmless!

You can get them if clothes rub against your skin or if you are over weight, I think there are other reasons too!

Im not massive, but a little curvy ha ha and I wore these new pants to the gym and then rubbed on my inner thigh and gave me a few! never had any in my life until that, but they were tiny... x

Thanks for your answer :)

Lol she said that on the first date? But they're non contagious, mold or wart like growths on the skin. Usually they occur from skin and skin rubbing together so even the smallest bit of curvyness and extra skin can because them if you're prone to them.

They're little lumps of extra skin. They can be discolored, like a mole, or they could be the same color as the surrounding skin.

I have one, on my ear, but the thought of multiple on your back creeps me out X/
