A member asked:
Had a small newly raised freckle, looked normal besides being raised. when i used a washcloth in the shower it scratched it off? is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is most likely not dangerous. What you think was a raised freckle was more likely a skin tag, and they sometimes fall off with friction, especially if small in size. If it returns, or comes back and grows in size or changes features, then consider having it examined by your doctor. Best wishes.
