Accepted Answer

Probably: Skin tags are common on the perineum.  However it can also be something different like a genital wart.  You should see a medical provider to evaluate what it is.

Question 2

2 months  ago i noticed a pimple like on my perineum and now its increasing  around 3  in numbers.its not painful.is it skin tag or wart?thank you

Accepted Answer

Best to show an MD: If you describe it as a 'pimple' I think of redness and maybe a 'head' to it as well, but since you mention 'wart' and 'skin tag' these look very different. A pimple would not last for 3 months. I suspect these could be warts, but u really need a doctor to take a look -and hopefully provide treatment on the spot to take care of this. Yes, it might be embarrassing 4u but doctors are here to help.

Question 3

are skin tags harmful?

Accepted Answer

No: No they are not harmful but they can be somewhat irritating because of their location. They tend to grow around neck lines, bra lines, and underwear lines. Your doctor can easily remove them but insurance often wont pay since it is considered cosmetic.

Question 4

why am i getting skin tags?

Accepted Answer

See below: A skin tag is a tiny, benign, outpouching of skin that is typically connected to the underlying skin by a thin stalk. Skin tags look like tiny bits of "hanging" skin and typically occur in sites where clothing rubs against the skin or where there is skin-to-skin friction, such as the underarms, neck, upper chest, and groin.

Question 5

what possible causes of skin tags are there?

Accepted Answer

Genetics friction: Skin tags most commonly occur in areas of rubbing and / or friction. They also seem to be more common in certain individuals.

Question 6

skin tags turned bloody, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: I suspect they were just traumatized, but you should have them checked...They can be easily removed in the office with local anesthesia.

Question 7

bleeding skin tags?

Accepted Answer

Skin tags: Skin tags are simply redundant skin that cause protuberances, often around areas that are frequently rubbed by clothing or are traumatized by friction. They often occur around the neck, under the arms and on the buttocks. When these skin tags get traumatized, they can get inflamed and very painful, or they can bleed. They can usually be easily removed under local anesthesia in a doctor's office.

Question 8

how to treat skin tags quickly!?

Accepted Answer

Skin Tags: Skin Tags can usually be easily removed in the office with a sharp scissor after cleaning the area.  They generally do not bleed significantly.  If the skin tag is in a sensitive area (eyelid) or has a large base I will inject local anesthetic prior to removal.  Your doctor should be able to help.  It is a common request.

Question 9

can women get skin tags in gential area?

Accepted Answer

Skin Tags: Genital skin tags are all those skin tags that appear in the area of the genitalia such as vaginal skin tags, anal skin tags and groin skin tags. These benign (non cancerous) skin growths are surprisingly common and mostly harmless. It is extremely rare for a skin tag to be cancerous.
