Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are small, soft, and harmless skin growths that hang off the skin. They are made of collagen and blood vessels enclosed in skin and are commonly found in areas of friction such as the neck, underarms, groin, or eyelids. Though painless and non-cancerous, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic or comfort reasons.
