Brief Answer:
Hymenal tag

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for additional information.

After seeing picture and reading your description i feel this is hymenal tag.

This is just a small fold of skin tag at hymenal area and nothing more. This is normal occurrence in many women and absolutely normal.

There is nothing to worry
