I've been to the doctors and they froze the larger one off and said it was a skin tag. I've had another come up and want to check because I'm scared. my partner has no signs of genital warts or anything like that. I've been tested and I came back clear for any STIs.

    Dear sian,

    Difficult to say if it's a genital wart or a skin tag. They can look very similar. Treatment for either would be cryotherapy. I wouldn't be anxious if this is a wart- they are very common and it does not mean your partner has been unfaithful. Many people harbour HPV infection for months after they are infected and may not show any symptoms.

    Just looks like a skin tag. If you have had one before it is common to get them again even elsewhere
