A member asked:
I had a skin tag under my right arm and it has fallen off but the area around where it was is very red any idea?

Torn off?: If the tag was pulled or torn off then it would probably be red, and painful. If so then keep it clean to prevent infection. Just plain vaseline will help protect it as it heals. If it gets worse then you should have it examined.
