What is another name for skin tags?

Skin tags are commonly referred to as acrochordons. These small, benign growths typically appear as soft, flesh-colored or slightly pigmented protrusions on the skin. They often occur in areas where skin rubs against skin, such as the neck, armpits, or groin, and are generally harmless but can be removed if desired for cosmetic reasons.

The term "acrochordon" specifically describes these soft and harmless outgrowths, making it the correct choice.

Dermatitis refers to inflammation of the skin and is associated with various skin conditions characterized by itching, redness, and swelling, but it does not denote a growth like a skin tag. A wart is a growth that results from a viral infection (specifically, human papillomavirus) and is usually rough in texture, differing significantly from the soft presentation of a skin tag. Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that arises from melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin, and is not related to benign skin growths like skin tags.
