What Causes Painful And Irritated Skin Tag In Between The Vagina And Anus?
Hi! I have a flap of fleshy skin which is attached between my vagina and anus. It s around 2.5cm long and has increased in size over a couple of years as it hasn t always been there. It can get very painful and irritated with my underwear, not to mention embarrassing. I would like to have it removed, even if I have to go to a private doctor. I was wondering though if I should have it checked by my nhs GP first? I don t want to waste their time, however I really need to have it removed. Thanks for your time.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to want it removed for both cosmetic and symptom relief purposes.
It would be best to see your GP first however, he or she can then refer you to the best person to do the procedure for you.
It would likely be a short day case.
I hope this helps
