What Does A Skin Tag On The Neck Indicate?
I have a skin tag on my neck [actually 2] but one which has some up recently is red totally around it. The skin tag is small but the red area is 1 1/2 inch around it . I have watched it for a few days and there does not seem to be a change. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
These types of lesions are due to fungal infection because of chronic perspiration.
Take clotrimazole dusting powder from medical shop. Apply after shower in morning and evening. If tag does not resolve within 5 to 7 days, consult dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Hiren Hirpara
