    skin tags are harmless and can be removed by coating them with apple cider vinegar twice daily. It takes several days for the acid in the vinegar to kill them and make them fall off. Much safer for your skin than the drugstore wart remover.

    Moles should be seen by a Doctor or Dermatologist.

    Some moles are innate, but most will develop later in life. It is genetically determined how easily you get skin tag / moles , but the Sun is also involved. Most dark or brown colored moles contain an accumulation of melanin.

    Melanin is the skin pigment that protects the skin against sunlight and make us brown in the Summer. Sun exposure increases melanin production in the skin.

    The safest is to go to the doctor if you want to remove a mole or skin tag because of the risk of cancer in it.

    they can be caused by a virus, Moles have to be removed by a Dr but skin tags can be treated at home, I had them as a kid on my neck and armpits, my mother had me put castor oil on them twice a day, after a while they just fell off, don't remember how long it took maybe 2-6 weeks
