Is the chance of getting more moles and skin tags linked to heredity?

yes and no some people just get skin tags others do inherit them

Is the chance of getting more moles and skin tags linked to heredity?
I have skin tags and my mother and grandmother had them also. My dermatologist said to stop using a wash cloth when I shower. She said the tags are caused by friction, ie washcloths, clothing rubbing against the skin. I usually just get them cut off at the doctors. But I can't tell you if they occur due to heredity.
Reply:I would assume skin tags are hereditary, since they are a sensitivity to friction on skin. I never had any until I started shaving my pits.
