Skin tags

@nancydrew Your best bet is consult a primary care doctor or dermatologist for medical advice. Here on Connect, we can only share our experiences and things learned from medical providers, but not advice because we are just patients on here.

One other benefit of seeing a dermatologist is that they can catch something that might be dangerous and get it removed before it can turn to cancer. I got my husband in for a skin check and they found melanoma, the most dangerous of the skin cancers. Abnormal moles can turn into that. I had one that looked similar and the doc removed it because mine was abnormal too. My husband is doing well. It seems we caught it in time, but he is always going in for follow ups with the surgeon, and dermatology skin checks.

Here is some information from Mayo about skin tags.

Have you seen a dermatologist before? Have you had a lot of sun exposure to your skin?

Yes I do an annual visit for my skin.
