These growths appear in the skin folds such as the neckline, under the breasts, under the arms, eyelids or in the groin. They are most common in pregnant women, overweight people and those having type 2 diabetes. They may become inflamed while shaving and bleed or agitated by clothing or jewelry. They can grow with time forming giant lesions (Giant acrochordon).
