Metabolic Associations with Skin Tags

The most common site of skin tag is on the sides of the neck, where they may be mixed with typical small, sessile, seborrheic keratoses [1]. They are also seen frequently in the axillae, eyelids, and less often on the trunk and groins, where the soft pedunculated growths often hang on thin stalks [2], perianal skin are also frequently involved [2,8] and this has now been named infantile perianal pyramidal protrusions. This occurs in young children usually girls, in the midline anterior to the anus. This reduces with time and no treatment is necessary [2].
