A member asked:
I have a skin tag that i've had for as long as i can remember. its in my armpit. its normally brown in color and turned partly black & hard overnight?

Torsion: Twisting the tag can cause an infarction of it. This means the blood supply was turned off and the tissue has died. It is likely to dry-up and drop off. If not it is very easy to remove it. No stitches.
