Skin tag or wart
by Workedup1, Jul 16, 2009 04:20PM
Hi,
I'm new to this site and finally have got enough nerve to join to ask my own questions. I have skin tags under my armpits that have been checked by my doctor. I have noticed that there is a similar looking brownish bump that feels harder like the ones under my arm near the hair folicals between the shaft of my penis and scrotum. I've looked up genital warts and skintags on the groin area but I still am not for sure which it could be. It is not colliflowered like it says warts are but it isn't in the place where people say they get groin skin tags like on the leg area. It does not hurt, itch or ever felt irritated. I have some moles on my shaft that the doctor confirmed but now I fear that I have a genital wart. What could this be? I'm stressing out and my biggest fear are STDs. Please help!

Hello,
This growth can be due to solar keratosis(small rough or scaly areas of skin due to damage from sun exposure),seborrheic keratosis(small lumps due to a thickening of an area of the top skin layer),wart or a mole.
I sincerely advise you consult a dermatologist and get the diagnosis confirmed.Mode of treatment for all is entirely different.Chemical peel and laser treatment help in their treatment but for that diagnosis has to be confirmed first.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.
