The groin, inner thighs, and area around the underwear line are hotspots for skin tags. These regions are full of natural skin folds, and clothing—especially tight underwear or pants—creates added rubbing.
Sweating in these zones can further irritate the skin, increasing the chance of tag formation. Athletes, people who walk or run frequently, and individuals with larger body frames often develop skin tags in these spots because of constant friction.
4. Eyelids
Skin tags on the eyelids can be surprising, but they’re very common. The skin here is thin and delicate, making it more prone to developing small folds. Frequent blinking and touching the eyes—such as putting on makeup or removing contact lenses—also contribute to irritation.
Eyelid skin tags are harmless but may affect appearance or interfere with vision if they grow large. Because the eye area is sensitive, removal should always be done by a professional.
5. Under the Breasts
For women, the area beneath the breasts is another place where skin tags often appear. This area experiences warm, moist conditions and constant friction between skin and clothing. Ill-fitting bras worsen the problem by increasing rubbing and pressure along the lower breast crease.
People with larger breasts or those who sweat heavily may notice skin tags forming here more often.
