A member asked:

I have a skin tag under my armpit that is red and sore and might be trying to scab i cant really tell but what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam: Have it examined by a General Physician or a skin specialist (Dermatologist). If you don't have a GP you might think about going to an Urgent Care facility (not ER). Could be nothing, could be problematic. Have it examined.
