Hi,

Can you send a photograph of the extra skin hanging off your labia? That could help me assist you further!

Having an extra skin hanging off your labia might be possible:
- skin tags
- wart

If you have pinch it off and is bleeding, you should see a local dermatologist or gynecologist for more specific examination and evaluation of your "extra skin hanging off your labia".

Please apply cold compresses locally to stop bleeding and contact doctor.
