Skin tags on groin
Common Questions and Answers about Skin tags on groin
skin
I went to the derm, and he said that because they were in the groin, and because of their look, he thought they were Skin Tags. The 2 in the left groin crease are a few mm apart and are quite small. One of the 2 on the right side looks like a flap of skin too, but different looking from the ones on the left. The other one on the right side is the questionable one.
Since then, i have seen growths on my groin fold that look like skin tags. None of these are located on the penis or area surrounding penis. All are in groin folds. I have a history of skin tags all over my body including in my groin area in the past. I have shown all places to both a dermatologist and a PA at the local health department. Neither of them said they were warts. The dermatologist said two of them were skin tags and two of them were seborrheic keratosis.
A year or so ago, I noticed a few growths in the fold of skin between my groin and shaft. I had recently gained some weight, so there is a lot more skin rubbing going on down there, so I simply assumed them to be skin tags. They extended up from the stalk, and could be moved around without any pain.
I also have several skin tags that were diagnosed by the same dermatologist. The skin tags were like dangling pieces of skin but the keratosis are more flat. The first dermatologist said he was 99.9% sure that the place in my groin fold was not a genital wart.
Should i be worried about genital warts?
What is the likelihood you would get a single wart on the groin fold and no where else?
Hi,
Skin tags are very common and harmless lesions Skin tags develop in both men and women as they grow older. They are skin coloured or darker and most often found in the skin folds such as the neck, armpits, or groin. However, if it bothers you and tries to interfere with your day to day activities, it is best that you see your doctor. Skin tags can be removed for cosmetic reasons by the following methods: cryotherapy, surgical excision, electrosurgery or ligation.
I have odd shaped bumps on my groin, which get to be about the size and shape of a grain of rice. They are not on my genitals just both sides of my groin area. They seem to grow and shrink randomly. I have also noticed a bad smell , and the skin on top of the bumps seems to flake off a little and if i scratch them they bleed a lot. I've had them for about a month tried baby powder didnt work. Does this sound like genital warts?

Hi,
I'm new to this site and finally have got enough nerve to join to ask my own questions. I have skin tags under my armpits that have been checked by my doctor. I have noticed that there is a similar looking brownish bump that feels harder like the ones under my arm near the hair folicals between the shaft of my penis and scrotum. I've looked up genital warts and skintags on the groin area but I still am not for sure which it could be.
I had one right above the penis in the lower abdomen and one on my left upper groin region. My doctor has removed all of them and he said that all of them looked like skin tags except for the one i mentioned in the previous thread. I think that it came before my sexual encounter and the only woman i have been with other than the one in May is my wife. Can skin tags start out as what looks like a raised light brown mole and then change into flappy piece of skin?
Anal skin tags are similar to skin tags in other parts of the body. They are usually skin colored and may appear to have a stalk. Anal skin tags are benign and they are not contagious. They may get irritated .During this time, it is best to keep the area clean and dry. Infections may be a likely complication.
I suggest you have this assessed by your physician. Your physician may help you differentiate between anal skin tags and hemorrhoids which are also likely differentials.

Hi,
A skin tag is a small flap of tissue that hangs off the skin by a connecting stalk. Skin tags are benign and are not dangerous. They are usually found on the neck, chest, back, armpits, under the breasts, or in the groin area. Skin tags appear most often in women, especially with weight gain, and in elderly people. They do not cause any pain. However, they can become irritated if anything such as clothing or jewelry rubs on them.
I noticed some white lumps in the groin but paid not attention because as I age I get all sorts of moles, scaly spots, etc. on my skin. Recently these lumps have spread and the last two weeks seem to be growing faster. One group looks similar to cauliflower. There is some itching but no pain. I have tried cortisone, triple anti-biotic and Lotramin. Lotramin helps the itch. I repeat I am not sexually active and have not been active for about 10 years.
I have about three dark black growths. They are on the inside upper thing. They are right where the groin area meets the thigh. I had them examined by my doctor & he diagnosed it as skin tags. However I am still worried and need to get a second opinion. Thanking in advance.

It looks similar to a skin tag however it is red in colour, whereas other skin tags I have had before have been brown. It is definitely not an ingrown hair and it is not something that could be popped. I am also 100% sure its not any form of STD. I have had it for a few weeks and it didnt cause me any discomfort. It is sore right now and irritated because I have been touching it and pulling on it a bit. I am tempted to just pull this little sucker right off!!
None were clustered, 3 were on the right side of sac and 2 on the left. All of which were less than 1mm in size, skin colored or brown and were soft. In my panic I simply plucked them off from my sac and pubic region. None bled profusely (all bled for less than 5 minutes) and seemed to be in areas of friction to the groin. A couple of them resembled flaps and another looked to be forming a rain drop like shape. Is this cause for concern or am I blowing this out of proportion?
