My wife has a skintag on her neck,she scratched it and now it turned purple, is !
Question: The skin tag was irritated and a blood vessel was broken in that area. The purple color comes from the blood that has collected in that area. That is sort of like a blood blister. It shouldn't be anything to worry about, unless it continues to grow and forms a hematoma (large collection of blood beneath the skins surface). But if it is unsightly or continues to grow, or become painful, it should be removed by your physician.
