Suggest Treatment For Spots In The Vaginal Area
Question: I have a spot on the outside top of the vaginal area. I even went to a skin specialist...
but I don't think he looked at it very much. It resembles a planters wart in feeling it...but I don't think that is what it is. Does this cost money?

I have to go to work and I can't do a photo right now...although there is very little to see, since it appears to be under the skin. I first thought it was like an ingrown hair, or even a pimple...but there is no way to get it to release anything. 'Time' for a 70 year old gal goes swiftly...so I have noticed this for at least two years, but maybe five. I think it is bigger than it originally was....and that is a concern....but it hasn't grown very much. There is no pain unless I push on it, and that is extremely minimal. It acts almost like a planters wart...that is my closest comparable. Thank you for your time and trouble and I will try and get you a photo soon. Sincerely, XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
let me know when you have the pictures ready. As this has been a long standing lesion, one may actually get an FNAC done to learn the histology and then confirm the diagnosis as well.
