Skin tags on both feet?
Skin tags on your feet are benign tumor-like skin growths. In appearance, they resemble warts, but are only excess skin tissues. The medical term for skin tags is achrochordon, or cutaneous papilloma. Skin tags are not contagious and should be pain-free. They are common on the feet, but can grown anywhere on the body. Once you've positively identified a skin tag, they are simple and painless to remove, and there are several ways to remove them. One way to remove a skin tag is to tie a piece of dental floss around it, leaving it there for 24 hours. The floss cuts off blood flow to the skin tag and it should fall off. You can also use peroxide to remove a skin tag. Apply the peroxide to the skin tag for several days. Then be patient, and the skin tag should go away.
