Question for dermatologist or skins professionals or doctors?

I had this little bump under my arm pit and it grew bigger. It is the the size of a male nipple now and its same color of my skin. Even worse there are 3 big ones now under same arm. and one small one under other arm and another small one coming in under other arm. I use electric clippers to trim arm pit hair and last night I cut one small one off on accident. It bled for a little while. I also accidentally cut one of the bigger ones, didn't cut off but cut it a bit and it bled, no puss. They seem to have healed from cut fine. But should I be worried about these intruders. I don't want them and want to know if there is a safe procedure to remove them am I stuck with them or what? Is it cancerous is it disease? Is it no big deal? Please help. I want these off my body. I also have a small one growing on top of eye lid below eye brow. They don't look like moles. One under my arm is 1/4 inch long. This sucks!

    Sounds like skin tags. They usually grow on skin where there is friction. They also grow around the eyelids quite commonly. The best thing is to head in to your dermatologist and let the doctor know that they are bothering you. If they are irritated or irritating they will remove them. It is a simple procedure and relatively painless. Well worth having it done.
