Tell me about... the small skin that hangs off skin


A skin tag can be removed either by cutting it off at the stalk with a blade or scissors, freezing it with liquid nitrogen, or using electrocautery.

I have always been worried about moles. I read that they can turn cancerous if they change in size, and I believe I have a lot of them on my face. I went to a skin specialist, and he told me that instead of moles, what I have is skin tags. What are skin tags?

A skin tag is a small, out-pouching protrusion of skin that is connected to your skin by a thin stalk.
