what is a skin tag and do warts have hair?

Doctor,
I never had any weird bumps until I started getting a brazilian wax.  I got a little white bump that I figured was an ingrown hair from the waxing and I would pick it off (i know, a no-no).  Well, I haven't had a wax in a LONG time and I have noticed that where that old bump that I scratched off was, is now a hairy bigger bump.  And I'm freaking out that it's a wart.  It looks just like the color of my labia and I put iodine on it everyday.  It was bigger (about a centimeter?) 5-7 days ago but I keep putting iodine on it and it's now about 1/2 a centimeter.  I'm freaking out here... What can it be?  a very infected ingrown hair?  i hope so....... :o(

Warts don't have hair.  Skin tags may but usually not.  Sounds more like folliculitis (hair follicle infection), probably not sexually acquired.  But I can't say anything more; you'll need to see a health care provider.

Good luck--  HHH, MD
