What Causes Bumps On Arm Like Skin Tags?
I have a small bump on my arm that I thought was a pimple of some sort. I left it alone and it has grown in the last couple of weeks into a hard pointy skin tag. It is soft at the base but is hard with a white point coming out. It itches but when I touch it, it burns.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
skin tags need to be removed by radiofrequency ablation.
It is a small surgical procedure and takes just few minutes.
An antibiotic will be required to give cover for infections.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
