Skin Tags(Vaginally

I have stayed unactive sexually all my life now, but finally met someone. the thing is i have what i think is a skin tag on my labia. it hangs like a piece of skin and it definitely noticeable if i got into certain situations. i havent gone to a doctor or anything because its an embarrassing issue. ive brought it up to a friend but she has no idea. so basically i guess my question really is:

Is it removable, if so how much would it generally cost. and would this be a private manner?

Hello,
Skin tags are tiny skin growths generally cause no symptoms unless they are repeatedly irritated. The commonest area where they occur are armpits, groins, neckfolds etc. Treatment options include removing with scissors, freezing (using liquid nitrogen), and burning (using medical electric cautery at the physician's office). You should consult a dermatologist to find out which treatment is the best one for you.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
