Is it normal for a skintag to itch (on your eyelid/elsewhere)?

I have a few skin tags, including one on my right eyelid. It doesn't hurt, but it's annoying because eyeshadow doesn't go on over it smoothly and it occasionally itches out of nowhere.

    If it bothers you so much, have it removed. ??

    Skintags are little outgrowths of skin on the body. The most common places are on the eyelids or under arms. Basically (excuse my poor ascii skills) --() they look like that, but in varying sizes and thicknesses. They sometimes have small blood supply, allowing them to have a reddish or pinkish hue. Generally they are harmless, but they can be removed by a dermatologist.

    Do you mind if I ask what a skin tag is before I vote? I have never heard of this.
