A small, benign skin growth or wart, often appearing on the neck, armpits, or other skin folds.
From Greek akron 'peak, tip' + chorde 'cord.' Describes the small, peaked or corded appearance of the skin tag.
Those little skin tags everyone gets are technically acrochordon—and they're more common as you age because of repeated skin folding and friction in the same spots!
