A member asked:
I am just curious as to whether all that rubbing and tightness could cause like small skin flaps and/or skin tags in my labia area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Skin tags are very common and are not necessarily located in areas that are associated with tight fitting or rubbing clothes. Also, "skin flaps" in the labial area are not caused by this either. I would suggest that if you have some new growths or changes in the labial area, that you should get them examined.
