Skin Tag vs. Warts

by highlanddawg08, Jul 21, 2009 12:35PM
Two years ago I had what was diagnosed as a skin tag on my groin after a biopsy.  My dermatolgist told me at the time that I did not need to cut it off. Over the next year it grew to be big, brown and floppy which aligns with traits of a skin tag.  At the end of the first year, I was doing a lot of bike riding and the skin tag flattened out and got a lot bigger due to the pressure I guess I was putting on it.  After that, I had a couple of bumps grow on my scrotum where the skin tag was touching the scrotum.  At that point, she decided to freeze the skin tag and bumps which we assumed were skin tags.  After 4 treatments, they did not disappear.  She decided to biopsy it again and told me there was a faint prescense of wart in the skin tag.  I became frustrated with the doctor and went to a knew doctor because I now have 6 total bumps including two on my anus.  I went to a new doctor last week who froze them and gave me condolyx as I asked for the most aggressive treatment possible.  The new doctor looked at them and thought they could still be skin tags but the whole thing has been frustrating.  I have no reason to have warts and my wife does not have them so I am trying to make sense of this if anyone has any ideas.
