Should I be worried about this

[scared1979733]

Hi,  
  I have three little bumps on the inside of my left thigh.  They are small, flat and kinda brownish in color.  They are not clumped together and they do not hurt or itch.  I've looked online and in my opinion they do not look like HPV warts but I would like to make sure. I would just like to know if this is serious and if I should have it looked at. I can provide a picture if necessary. Im a little worried.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Scared1979733,

I have reviewed the pictures sent by you. They look like 'keratotic' lesions. Do not worry, the lesions do not appear to be a genital wart.

They can be removed by a cautery / laser procedure. A competent dermatologist can perform the procedure safely and effectively.

Best Regards

If I noticed these bumps back in August would they definitely have multiplied and grown by now if they were warts?

Thanks, did you review my photos? If so does it look like a wart?
What do you mean by warty to touch?

Dear scared1979733,

Thanks for posting your query.

A growth in the thigh area could be a wart, a skin tag- achrocordon or molluscum contagiosum.

If the lesion is soft and is not warty to touch, it is most likely to be a simple skin tag which is the most common lesion in the area that you describe. Skin tags are elongations of normal skin which erupt due to protrusion of normal skin in areas of constant strain such as axillae, groin, neck etc. A wart usually grows at a faster pace and is warty and hard. Also a wart is infectious and can spread on the skin surface leading to multiple lesions in a short span of time. It is advisable to get yourself examined by a qualified Dermatologist as a physical examination of dermatological lesions helps in coming to an exact diagnosis. You can get rid of most common lesions through a laser or a radio cautery procedure.

Hope that this information helps and hope that you will get better soon.
