What are those little growths of skin found on your eyelids and such places as your neck, and what causes them

They're called "skin tags".


They're pretty common, and usually, but not always, begin in middle age. I've had mine since I was a teenager. More women than men get them, but both get them in the same areas - eyelids, neck, chest, armpits and groin area. I get them on the insides of my elbows.





They can be easily removed, either by burning them off, or tying a bit of string around them to cut off the blood supply.


Check with your doctor if they irritate you.





I found this info, so I hope it helps :





*A skin tag is a common, benign condition which consists of a bit of skin that projects from the surrounding skin and may appear attached to the skin. Skin tags can vary quite a bit in appearance. They may be smooth or irregular, flesh colored or more deeply pigmented, and either simply be raised above the surrounding skin or have a stalk (a peduncle) so that the skin tag hangs from the skin.
