A member asked:

What's the difference between of skin tags and labial polyp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Size: Skin tags are common and always benign. Although polyps may occur on mucosal membranes they are rare on skin. Polyps that occur anywhere have the potential to be malignant and may require biopsy for histologic evaluation. They are generally much larger than skin tags.
