Hard to say: Without an exam, there is no way to know whether this 'skin' is just a normal part of your anatomy vs a STD (like a genital wart). Please see a health care professional.

Skin: The only way to know what is the situation is to get a gyn exam.

So am I: Have a dr. examine you and then you will know what it is and it can be treated and/or removed it if has to be. Best wishes.
