Question 1

besides ringworm what kind of rash can cause a red circle with a wart like skin tag on the breast area? it showed up over night

Many things: Here is the list - pityriasis rosea, eczema, pyogenic granuloma, etc.  Skin issues are difficult to diagnoses without seeing them - if it persists, seek care.

Question 3

found a growth on my groin area looking like a small skin tag. dermatologist biopsied and pathologist said it was a benign verrucous keratosis. is this a wart caused by hpv? they said they could do some kind of stain test to look for virus?

Question 5

i have had a wart or some type of skin tag for a few months now. i don't now what it is and i have been diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum?

Accepted Answer

Who made the : Diagnosis? doubtful a second opinion or biopsy may be helpful

Question 6

i was told skin tags caused by hpv are spreadable. if so, how can i tell if its a natural tag or by hpv? i know it isn't a wart, so why can it spread?

Two distinct things: Warts caused by hpv virus are entirely different than skin tags, biopsy (histology of tissue) will easily distinguish one from other besides clinical appearance.

i have a skin tag like thing on my labia majora... is it common to have it there? it is smooth and soft, not rough like genital warts. but it just bled for some reason. maybe it got rubbed against my underwear? hoping not cancer. please advise. thx?

Accepted Answer

: For peace of mind, make sure it's a skin tag by having your gynecologist or a dermatologist inspect it.

Question 8

what causes mole/skin tags? i've been having a few moles around breast area but a new itchy one has popped up. what to do? very pesky itch!

Accepted Answer

Have mole checked: All new moles should be checked out. Skin tags under the breast often get irritated and itchy. People refer to skin lesions as tags and moles but there can be a lot of different causes of skin growths depending on what is going on with the cells. Pigmented moles that are changing or look a lot different then the other moles need to have a trained eye take a look.

Question 9

i've got some kind of genital warts or skin tags.  help please?

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: Without an exam, it would be hard to tell. See your doctor for the proper exam. Both are treatable.

Question 10

why is my neck is turning dark & itching profusely ?.. neck is turning dark & skin between breast also getting lil skin tags as well was told onset of diabetes is possible cause ?

Accepted Answer

Hard : Hard to tell without a clinical examination in regards to the neck (there are many possibilities such as acanthosis nigricans) so i would see a dermatologist.  Read about skin tag treatment at the link below.  I hope that helps a little.
