I'm just curious, does anyone else have skin tags umm..."down there"? I have some and had a bad experience with them because this one idiot doctor I saw tried to say it was genital warts. Which I knew for several reasons could not be true. I got a second opinion, and THIS doc took a biopsy of the growths and it turned out to be just normal flesh. Skin tags. Does anyone else have these? And are MOST physicians competant enough to tell the difference between skin tags and warts?

Totally normal...I have two myself on my inner thigh, really close to the jackpot if you catch my drift. They aren't large and obvious, but they are there and I know it. So does my fiance. He actually pointed the second one out to me that I didn't know was there at first. It was kind of funny. There is nothing weird about having them. Some people do and some people don't. At least they aren't growing on your face. I had an Aunt with skin tags around her mouth! We are the lucky ones. You can have them removed if you wish, but seriously, they aren't hurting anyone.

Skin tags are quite common. Especially after having children. They can be surgically removed.

I have seen this on both males and females, skin tags "down there" are common.

I would think that a doctor should know the difference...however it doesn't seem to be! I would think the best person to see would be a dermatologist.

Yes, I have a huge one at the end of my crack. (Very, Very, Embarrassing!) No, I am not bragging. I just wanted you to know that you are not the only one.

Look at the site below... I guess it is pretty common, but good thing is, there are treatments for it.
