I have a skin tag on my inner thigh that has suddenly turned a bluish purple. the top of it is kind of reddish brown, almost like a fresh scab.

Acrochordon: These are easily twisted or pinched, resulting in the appearance you describe. It is very quick, easy, and painless to remove it. No stitches or dressings. OK to shower. Scab will fall off in a week.
