Definition

A skin tag is a common, benign skin growth,  often found on the eyelids, neck, chest, armpits, and groin, which consists of a bit of skin that projects from the surrounding skin.  Skin tags may be smooth or irregular, flesh colored or more deeply pigmented, and is usually raised above the skin on a stalk so that the skin tag hangs from the skin.  Some skin tags can grow to look like a small cauliflower.
