Okay so I have these skin tags on the lip area or whatever on my vagina area. To get them looked at and to talk to someone about it should I see a Dermatologist or my Gynocologist?

Anyone else have these? They are weird lol

Thanks

Thanks kitty

So do you know of anyone that has these. Are they normal and such? I'll call my oBGYN first and go from there. Thanks !

Haha I'm sorry, Yea that'd be a very strange conversation to have w/ your friends or others i guess hehe. After I read that i'm like oops didnt mean it that way.

I have read that it occurs down there and all. That its just extra skin. They just came about a few months ago and I've been kind of embarassed by it ever since.

Thx

I have a couple of skin tags..one on the neck and one on the inner thigh, but the only similarity that I have with you is that a few years ago, I began to develop very noticable, dark, freckles on my bottom lip. Then I noticed that I had them on my vaginal lip too. I am now up to three on the lip of my mouth and three large ones on the lip of my vagina. My gyno has seen them, and says that if they ever become larger that they originally were upon formation, or irregular shaped or darker, than I should look into having them removed. I hope that you have your skin tags taken care of though. I would like to lose the one on my inner thigh that I have jokingly named "my little penis."

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. I have a skin tag in the same area that I got when I was pregnant with my last child, and I've been wondering the same thing. I've got an appointment with my OBGYN next week, so we'll see what happens with that. Good luck with yours!

Hi girls. Thank you. Well i've never been pregnant and I dont think i am ( actually thats something im going through right now. ) Im waiting to get off this weird menstrual cycle im on right now so I can take the EPT Test I bought.

But they came about a few months ago. I have an OBGYN appt on monday ( the 6th ) so i'll let you know if you want , what they say.

Cross my fingers. And thank you for your 2 cents and info on this. Its very supportive.
