Question : Hi. I have a growth in my upper tight near my groin that lately has been getting a little bigger and I'm concerned about it. Can you tell me what it is and if it is possible to get it removed and what are the procedures to do it. I'm attaching a couple photos for you to see it.

Thanks

Dear Sir

Thanks for providing the clinical photograph. From the picture it appears to skin tag/papilloma which is a benign tumor. It can be easily removed with simple excision biopsy. Exact diagnosis will depend on histopathology examination of the excised specimen.

I would suggest you to consult your Physician for excision biopsy, which can be done under local anaesthesia as a OPD procedure. Do keep me updated about the report.

Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy life.

Take Care
