These little skin tags keep popping up around my neck, and I won’t see my doctor for weeks. What can I do right now?

Gently clean the area with mild soap and water daily to prevent dirt and bacteria buildup. Avoid scrubbing, which could irritate the skin. Regularly check the skin tags for any changes in appearance or symptoms. Protect the area with a bandage if there is any risk of irritation from clothing or other factors.

Skin tags commonly develop in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing, which is why they frequently appear around the neck. Factors such as weight gain, hormonal changes, and genetics can also increase the likelihood of developing skin tags. Understanding these causes can help in taking preventive measures.
