They're called "skin tags".
They're pretty common, and usually, but not always, begin in middle age. I've had mine since I was a teenager. More women than men get them, but both get them in the same areas - eyelids, neck, chest, armpits and groin area. I get them on the insides of my elbows.
They can be easily removed, either by burning them off, or tying a bit of string around them to cut off the blood supply.
Check with your doctor if they irritate you.
I found this info, so I hope it helps :
*A skin tag is a common, benign condition which consists of a bit of skin that projects from the surrounding skin and may appear attached to the skin. Skin tags can vary quite a bit in appearance. They may be smooth or irregular, flesh colored or more deeply pigmented, and either simply be raised above the surrounding skin or have a stalk (a peduncle) so that the skin tag hangs from the skin.

they are called pores and skin tags. the main hassle-free way that folk do away with them is with tips from tying a thread around the backside of it to decrease of the circulate. you will get them frozen off, or you're able to have them decrease out with tips from a doctor. reducing it off with nail clippers does not sound like the final thought to me, it may well be painful, and ought to get contaminated that way.

Skin tags. I heard you get them from skin rubbing together. Your doctor can easily remove them if they bother you.
