Its a skin tag which are not cancerous and no need to worry about it. they can be a problem if they catch or rub on your clothing. If it really bothers you and it has a narrow stalk you could ask someone to tie and knot a piece of cotton thread very very tightly around the stalk and just leave it. Dental floss is ideal .
This will cut off the blood supply to the tag and it will eventually drop off.
