Is this genital warts? or skin tags?!


Question:

Is this genital warts? or skin tags?

Ok, so i know the best option is to go see a doctor, so don't tell me something I don't already know. But I just want some piece of mind about this before I do.

I've had a small bump near the opening to my vagina. It's been there ever since I can remember. Well recently I was in the shower and while washing I noticed the bump was a little bigger. It just kind of scratched off too. It sort of looked like three little cells stuck together. It didn't hurt, and it came off easy like a skin tag. I have looked at pictures all over the internet and it looks nothing like all the scary pictures of warts. I mean, this thing was TINY and not red, and not sore, didn't itch. Well it came back again and like before, it just sort of scratched off. It doesn't hurt when it comes off. I think I found another one now in the crease where my thigh connects.

Can anyone help? Maybe someone who has warts and knows what they are like?

I'm not promiscuous either. Neither is the bf. So I'm dumbfounded

I also wanted to add that I do have an insulin resistance problem and the website listed below mentioned that people with insulin resistance are more prone to skin tags.

I've never really gotten skin tags before, maybe a few. Now why in the vaginal region? I have found a few EXTREMELY tiny ones, about the size of a grain of sand that look like a regular skin tag. But the one that I found first is the one that worries me because it looks like a few skin tags attached.



AND... I am in college and still on the family insurance, but I don't exactly want my parents knowing I'm getting tested for STD's. Sounds childish and immature, but my parents are EXTREMELY unreasonable when it comes to that stuff. What can I do to keep information like that off the bill? Isn't there some sort of confidentiality now because I'm over 18?


Answers:

If you shave then rest easy its probably a skin tag just like the ones almost everone gets in their armpits and it will keep coming back unless you have a doctor freeze it off.If you had warts or herpes then you would probably have more than one lone bump. If it makes you feel better I got a skin tag in the same spot and I freaked out forever and when finally I got my pap the doctor didn't say anything so I pointed it out and he said thats just a skin tag I was so relieved. Anyways after a while it just really didn't bother me anymore. but ya if its small and just slightly darker than the color of your skin its probably a skin tag. Hope I helped, try not to stress and you should still see a doctor if for nothing more than you're peace of mind.
