HPV or Skin Tags?

I've recently discovered little flesh-like growths on my scrotum. One on the left testicle and one on the right. To me the look like skin tags, such as ones I have on my shoulder. They don't appear to be cauliflower-like and I have none on my penis, as yet. I plan to visit a local GUM clinic but I was just curious to  gather some opinions on whether these are simply skin tags or could be something like HPV.

Thanks.

Its highly advised that you get it checked out by a dermatologist. The pictures online are nothing like how they are in real life, the ones online are from very extreme cases.

best bet is to get a biopsy if they cant tell you what it is. However, i dont think its anything since its kind of unusual to get hpv on your scrotum and not your penis.

I plan to go on Monday. Hopefully it is just a skin tag. Thanks for your comment!
