People can literally get skin tags anywhere. Often patients come to us for skin tag removal because the skin tag is causing discomfort or because it is readily visible. Some of the most common places from which we’ve removed skin tags: eyelids, armpits, neck, breast area and groin area. Generally, in those areas in which skin rubs against skin, these acrochordon can and will occur.
