If you have a skin tag it's most likely a harmless non cancerous growth.

Most skin tags are just annoying and not cancerous and you can remove the skin tag at home using a skin tag removal kit you can buy online.

A doctor can also remove the skin tag but it's not cheap for a doctor to remove it.

The last time I had a doctor remove a skin tag from my armpit it cost me $500.00 but the next skin tag I had I used a skin tag removal kit at home.

In very rare cases will a skin tag become cancerous or be cancerous but most times the skin tag is a harmless annoying growth.

I was worried at first before I knew what a skin tag was and thought maybe I had some cancer growing from my armpit but thankfully it was just a harmless skin tag.
