HPV or Tags? How do you know? was started.
I just went to the doctors a few days ago because of a pump that appeared on my vagina that I have had for a while and always thought it will go away but it hasn't since nov. and so I went today and she told me that it was simply a skin tag and I told her that well my partner he has pumps on the rim of his penish head and they told him that it was Genital Warts well thats strange because he has been faithful and he only got them after we had a sexual relationships and so I was wondering
Questions?
1. Is this genital warts?
2. Did I contract them to him?
3. And can I be cured if it is just a simpl skin tag?
4. why do skin tags irriate?
5. Should I go to a second doctor for a second oppinion
Looks like a skin tag. My advice remains the same.

Ok Doc last question I promise, just for my sanity please. I cut the tags/things off two years ago with no return.
The picture below is exactly what they looked like in texture, color, and shape. I had maybe five or six dispersed about an inch apart from each other on the groin and inner thigh/next to scrotum. Looking at the picture on the link what does that look like to you.

Thanks for your help.
Nice, but not definitive. Warts don't always grow back, at least not right away, and skin tags can grow back, eventually....

Since I sniped/cut my tags off or what ever they were with a razor they never re grew back. If they were warts wouldn't they have grown back or been more of a nusance. Where as with skin tags once they are cut off at the base they don't really grow back. Just a theory, what do you think?
1. Can skin tags grow in the vagina or on the rectum?
Yes.
2. Do hpv warts look like other warts; can you easily tell them from skin tags?
Not always.
3. Do you think that my first dermatologist was wrong?
I can't say.
4. What do you think these are based on my description?
Skin tags sound more likely.
5. What are the chances of both my wife and I having skin tags in that area one or two years apart?
Possible.
Hard to set odds. To answer your questions, it would be best to have one or more of these growths cut off and tested. However, I think you should have a doctor do it rather than cut anything off yourself.
Take care.
