Does this look like an STD or STI?

I am going to get checked out in a few days I believe, but I noticed this growth today. I haven't been having a lot of sex until recently and then I have had sex like 5 or 6 times the last 10 days or so. I bled pretty noticeably the first couple of times (I am not a virgin by any means) so I thought perhaps I might have just been a little too rough. But then I noticed this. Can't tell what it is. It feels like a skin tag. but since it's a little red, I'm not sure what it could be. Just freaking out a little. Also, in case it's hard to see in the picture, it's just at the entrance of the vagina. It's not on the labia or anything.

    it could just be irritated but you do need to go to your nearest clinic to get tested to be sure !

    Skin tags and warts bleed if irritated. I would avoid sex until this heals on its own but definitely get a Pap test and look for abnormalities

    Looks like an irritation from rough sex or having sex while you weren't sufficiently wet. It might also be a weird skin tag. But to be sure what exactly it is, get checked out. I don't think it's an STD.

      The doctor said it was nothing. Completely normal. I did end up having chlamydia (with no symptoms yet) anyway though so I guess it's a good thing I was worried about it.

      Wow😱. Are you serious? Sorry to hear that. Well, at least it's something treatable. So, are you receiving treatment for chlamydia now?
