I borrowed this from webmd.com with the link to the whole article in the source:
Skin Tag
A skin tag is a small flap of tissue that hangs off the skin by a connecting stalk. Skin tags are not dangerous. They are usually found on the neck, chest, back, armpits, under the breasts, or in the groin area. Skin tags appear most often in women, especially with weight gain, and in elderly people.
Skin tags usually don't cause any pain. However, they can become irritated if anything, such as clothing or jewelry, rubs on them.
How Are Skin Tags Treated?
Your dermatologist can remove a skin tag by cutting it off with a scalpel or scissors, with cryotherapy (freezing it off), or with electrosurgery (burning it off with an electric current).
As you can see, no specific disease causes them. Skin tags are also very prominent in obese people, even children.
as far as i know skin tags are just something you are born with and as you grow, so do they. at least that is what my doctor told me when he took my skin tag off.
