They can look very similar, though warts can have little bumps on them that make them look like tiny cauliflowers, but they don't have to have them. Yes, skin tags appear near the female genitalia. To be certain, you should ask your gynecologist. Skin tags can be burned off very easily if they are annoying or disconcerting.
