They are called skin tags. I dont know how they get there but you can have them removed. Ive had some removed. They are quite annoying.

The official name for skin tags is achrocordons. They do not usually cause a problem unless they get rubbed by your clothing.
Some people get them as they grow older but they can be a sign of obesity or diabetes. They can be removed by freezing or cauterising but this is mainly for cosmetic reasons.
My dad had skin tags under his arm pits and he used to say that they were where his skin joined. I have one dark coloured one on my neck but i have had it since childhood so it is nothing to worry about. I just consider it to be part of me.

It is probably just a skin tag, they're nothing to worry about. I have one under my armpit. It's more annoying than anything as i always accidentally slice it when i shave.

It's called a skin tag and unless it is dark in color or painful it is not anything to worry about.If vanity is your issue then a Dr. can easily cut them off usually without any pain.

without seeing it, it would be hard to tell what it is....it could be a nevus, or a skin tag, or even a cancer. If it bothers you suggest you see a doctor.
