They may also occur on the face, usually on the eyelids. Acrochorda are harmless and typically painless, and do not grow or change over time.[1] Though tags up to a half-inch long have been seen[1], they are typically the size of a grain of rice. The surface of an acrochordon may be smooth or irregular in appearance and is often raised from the surface of the skin on a fleshy stalk called a peduncle. Microscopically, an acrochordon consists of a fibro-vascular core, sometimes also with fat cells, covered by an unremarkable epidermis. However, tags may become irritated by shaving, clothing or jewelry. Very large skin tags may burst under pressure.[citation needed] It is believed that skin tags occur due to skin rubbing up against skin, since they are so often found in skin creases and folds.[1] They are more common in people who are overweight, have diabetes[1] and in pregnant women[4]. Acrochorda have been reported to have an incidence of 46% in the general population.[5] A causal genetic component is thought to exist.[citation needed] Rarely, they can be associated with the Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome.[citation needed] sounds like a skin tag….An acrochordon (plural acrochorda, and also known as a cutaneous skin tag, skin tag, fibroepithelial polyp[1], cutaneous papilloma, fibroma molluscum, fibroma pendulum, papilloma colli, , or soft fibroma[2]:993[3][dubious – discuss]) is a small benign tumour that forms primarily in areas where the skin forms creases, such as the neck, armpit, and groin.
