About 4 years ago I had a small piece of skin that would stick out in my armpit and would always seem to nip it when I shaved. It eventually disappeared but I'n not sure how. Recently I noticed another one has formed in the inside of my left buttock. It doesn't hurt but it is annoying having it there. Has anyone experienced this piece of "spare skin"? If so, know what it is, how it's caused and how to get rid of it?
Thanks

They're called skin tags and they just show up because they want to.
I had many of them on my neck that I suspect would not have been there if barbers were still allowed to use razors to shave your neck after a haircut. I think they would have been removed as they began to grow and we would have just said: "He nicked me". I went to a dermatologist and had them removed after they got large enough to bother me.
That was about 5 years ago and there are more taking their place now plus some in my armpits. Looks like I'll be going to the dermatologist again soon.
