Types of skin appendages
Skin tags are soft growths that protrude from the surface of the skin. They can vary in appearance but are usually the size of a small pebble or grain of rice.
They can be flesh-colored or darker, and because skin tags can sometimes resemble signs associated with skin cancers, it’s often wise to see a doctor to confirm what type of growth you have.

Among the most popular ways to remove skin tags:
The doctor will anesthetize the surrounding area, then cut off the excess mark using sharp curved scissors. The wound is then treated with a chemical that will stop any bleeding and help prevent infection.
Electrodesiccation, which involves numbing the area and then using a special tool to direct an electric current into the skin tag, killing the tissue.
Cryotherapy, in which a doctor dips a tweezer-like instrument in liquid nitrogen and pinches the base of a skin tag, essentially suffocating it.
