Title: "Those Little Bumps on Your Neck: What Are They and How to Get Rid of Them" Have you ever noticed small bumps on your neck or other parts of your body and wondered what they are? Unlike warts, these little protrusions are called acrochordons or skin tags. They are benign and harmless, but if they bother you, there are ways to get rid of them. Acrochordons usually appear in areas where the skin rubs against itself or clothing, such as the neck, armpit, or groin. They are more common in older adults, overweight individuals, and those with diabetes. Although they are harmless, they can be unsightly or uncomfortable, especially if they are in a spot that rubs against clothes or jewelry. So, how can you remove them? There are various ways to do so. You can have them surgically removed by a dermatologist, frozen off with liquid nitrogen, or burned off using electrocautery. Some home remedies include tying a string around the base of the skin tag or applying tea tree oil or apple cider vinegar. If you do opt to remove them, make sure to follow proper aftercare instructions. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and apply over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. Remember, acrochordons are harmless but if you want to get rid of them, there are safe and effective methods to do so. Consult with a dermatologist to determine the best option for you, and say goodbye to those little bumps for good. Estas carnosidades que salen conforme envejecemos suelen confundirse con las verrugas. Se llaman acrocordones, son benignos y esto es lo que hay que saber si quieres eliminarlos
