Is it normal to get a skin tag at 25 years old?

80% Normal

I discovered a weird tiny mushroom-like growth on my leg this morning and kind of freaked out, but a quick Googling showed that it's probably a skin tag, which is pretty much always benign. However it said that skin tags usually appear in elderly people and I'm only 25. Should I be concerned with them appearing this early?

Is It Normal?

    I don't know if this is normal. Perhaps, you should see a dermatologist?

    I have a couple of really tiny ones and I'm 20. They usually appear where's there's either friction or where the skin is almost always covered. Both of mine are on the underside of my arms.
