Skin tags on armpits, caused by shaving?!
Question:
Skin tags on armpits, caused by shaving?
I have small brown patches of raised dry skin, almost like little skin tags, on my armpits. They aren't painful but are quite noticeable, particularly where they cluster together, and I feel very conscious of them. I went to the doctors a few years ago when I first started getting them and she stated there was nothing I could do?

They aren't big enough to tie off, unfortunately, but are numerous enough to look like I have strangely darker skin or quite bad stubble when I raise my arms!
Answers:
These are harmless and can be removed medically by laser or you can pinch the blood out of them and whilst doing so tie them off with nylon line or similar . After a few days they will drop off.They are caused by the skin rubbing together and also appear at the top of the inner thighs. Hope this helps.
