I thinkDS has skin tags mainly clustered behind one knee. They're not itchy and he ignores them. Is it worth going to Dr to see if cn do anything to shrink them, or is just a case of time? He isn't remotely bothered. But won't be so nice when is in shorts.

Get them checked out. They are mostly a cosmetic problem, but if they start chafing in the summer that can become quite unpleasant.
Having them removed is quick and easy.
