A member asked:

Are epitheal growths on neck, head and shoulder a sign of some systemic problem? these froths are usually only small in diameter but grow taller.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin tags: Skin tags are what i call "marks of maturity" -- nearly everyone accumulates at least a few of them over time. They are not a sign of any systemic problem. At one time, some believed that they were a marker for polyps in the colon, but this was debunked several years ago.
