Skin tags can sometimes be harmless growths that can appear on the skin. In some cases these may be harmless, but having a lot of them, especially near the eyelids, neck, armpit and groin, can be a sign of type 2 diabetes. Medically these skin tags are called acrochordons. Studies suggest that diabetes risk was higher on people with skin tags than those without.
