Warts on skin between thigh and crotch

I recently saw my dermatologist about what I thought were skin tags on skin between thigh and crotch. He used liquid nitrogen on them and didn't make a big issue about them. I've seen different information and don't know if they are genital warts or not. Nothing has appeared on my penis or shaft but I am extremely concerned.  Could they be any other type of warts.

Hi,

These could be common warts.

You would need a clinical examination by your doctor for the confirmed diagnosis.

bacterial infection/ fungal infection or some skin nodules etc.

Are you allergic to any specific substances?

Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

It would be best to consult your doctor about your symptoms if they do not resolve and get a proper clinical examination.

Keep the area clean and wear clothes washed in a few drops of chlorhexidine preferably and dried in the sun.

You could take oral antihistamine or antiallergic medications for the itching.

Let us know about what your doctor advises.

Regards.
