Question : hello i have a skin colored bump on my labia frenulum. It looks like a extra piece of skin that is there. What could this be?

Brief Answer:
Suspect a swollen gland in labial skin

Detailed Answer:
Hello madam.Thanks for your query.

I would provisionally suspect a swollen gland in the skin covering the labia.If it is painful, red and swollen then it is suggestive of infection.

However, kindly upload a snap, image to help you better.

Regret for inconvenience since the information is minimal to understand the nature of underlying problem.

Or alternatively you may also wish to consult a gynaecologist for further advice.

It looks like a skin tag on my labial frenum in the mouth. Located on the piece of skin that connects to my tongue. What do you think this might be?
I meant that connects to my gum.
It is skin colored and looks like a round small skin tag?

NO it is not causing problems. I just noticed it by putting my tonque up there. It is not getting a bigger. Is it common to get skin tags there?

No need to action

Hello again!

If it is not causing problems & not getting bigger then it is advisable to leave it just like that.Skin tags usually present in the area where there is friction or rub.
