Hello,

You require a physical examination. It may be macerated skin tag or genital wart. Plan for excision under local anesthesia, it is a very simple and permanent solution.

Until then, start using T-bact ointment twice daily on the affected area to prevent cross infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sandeep Golla
