Is This Skin Tag Something I Should Worry About? - #14576
I’ve recently noticed a small bump on my neck, and at first, I thought it was just a pimple or something, but after a few days, it didn’t go away. I’ve realized it’s actually a skin tag. It’s pretty small but noticeable enough to make me wonder if it’s something I should be concerned about. I’ve read that skin tags are usually harmless, but could this one be a sign of a bigger problem? The skin tag doesn’t hurt, but it sometimes gets irritated if I accidentally rub it with my clothes. It’s not really affecting my day-to-day life, but I’m still not sure if I should leave it alone or get it checked. Can skin tags grow in size? Or should I be worried if it starts changing color or shape? I’m also wondering if it’s something I could have removed easily, or if I should go to a doctor for that. I don’t have any other skin issues, but I’ve heard that skin tags can be more common in people who are overweight or have certain health conditions, like diabetes. I’m not sure if this is relevant to me, but should I be more vigilant about other health conditions if I have a skin tag? Should I try to remove the skin tag myself, or is it better to have a professional do it? Are there any risks with removing a skin tag at home, or is it totally safe to do so?
