Vaginal skin tags are benign skin growths that occur in the vaginal area.
Although they are harmless, they can cause minor irritation due to friction from underwear, sanitary wear, intercourse or just general movement.
Although women can get these skin tags at any time, they are most commonly found after pregnancy.
They are harmless and there is no need to take any specific action.
Generally they are more of an embarrassment than an actual medical problem.
However it is important to always pay close attention to the appearance of any type of skin growth, especially to size and color.
In the case of any change of appearance it is important to see a doctor immediately as this could indicate the presence of a more serious condition.
It is important to remember that vaginal skin tags aren't contagious in any way and cannot be passed on to others.
They are NOT an STD and there is no cause for any alarm on the part of a sexual partner.
In fact, men can get skin tags around the penis as well.
There is no connection between these and genital warts either - in the case of genital warts it is important to see a doctor immediately as these are caused by a virus and ARE contagious.
Most women prefer to have vaginal skin tags removed, whether for aesthetic reasons, or for the irritation they may cause and it's actually quite simple to do so.
Although there are many different options for removal, one particular option is to see a doctor who may remove them using a scalpel (surgical excision) or by freezing them with liquid nitrogen.
These are not the most pleasant way to remove skin tags and can be painful, and cause irritation and scarring.
Because of this, many women prefer to remove them from home.
