Skin tags.

Does anyone here have a skin tag on their labia majora? What does it look like? When did it sprout up?

I tried my Google-fu skills, but couldn't find much information on what they look like or anything about them, really. I think I may have one that just started showing up a few months ago and is now very obvious in its presence.

Any info is appreciated.

I had one start showing up (I'm not really that sure about all the specific names of everything down there, but I am pretty sure it was on the area you mentioned) around the age of 18 or so. It looked kind of like a mole (dark brown) and gradually grew into the shape of a skin tag. It bothered me heaps so I tied some dental floss around the base of it. It cut's off the blood supply and it just drops off after a few days. Now, it just looks like a mole, which I can handle.

Ok wow I can't believe I'm admitting this because it's super embarrassing to me but I have one. I've had it since I was probably about 12 or so (I'm 27 now). Mine is about the size of the tip of my across and about 2 centimeters long(?).
I wish I could get rid of it but I can't because when I had insurance they considered it cosmetic surgery and wouldn't pay for any part of it. All of the Dr.'s I've seen have told me not to worry about it so I try not to.
I am thankful though that no guy has ever asked what the hell is that though. I think I would have been mortified if that had happened.
