A member asked:

I've had a flap of excess skin near my vagina, longer than the other side, since i can remember, is there anything wrong with me? can i get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes,: The extra tissue can be excised if it is a hymenal remnant, scar tissue post vaginal delivery, or "excess labia". Have a gyn md evaluate the area to see if excisiion is needed.
