Some skin tags are caused just because its an area where clothing often rubs against skin, like a super blister of sorts. If you get them more frequently and in other locations, it could be due to a hormone imbalance (though this is more common in women). I used to get them under my eyes because of sun damage. There are several treatment methods and over-the-counter medications, such as freeze sprays used for wart removal, straight up cutting off with a pair of nail scissors or seeing a doctor who will cut it off with more expensive nail scissors. It will be sore for a few days and may bleed, but should be fine in the long run. Hope this helps.

never heard of this! u could wash your arm pits with germ -X or go see a Dr.

I dont know what causes them, but Iheard if you tie a string around it.. in a few days it falls off.
