skin tag or warts?
by dddttt, Jan 05, 2007 12:00AM
Hello
I have something that look like skin tab on the bottom of my head where the skin was cut. i am crcumsised and wondered if it could be scaring from the operation or genital warts? No diffrent color or irrition comes from it. it's like a peice of skin thats small and can be pushed over each way if touched...
Hope this makes sense... Kinda goes with the rest of the way my skin looks but some how caught my attention because of a possible girl I have slept with that might have warts. Anything I can do to determin what it is with out going to the dr? Not that i don't want to go to the dr, but if I can convince myself it's nothing I dont wanna waste my time. I think I might just be tripping myself out?
Thanks

The location suggests a piece of skin rather than a wart. But no one can tell you that with certainty without seeing it. I guess that wouldn't be a waster of time....
