What Does A Skin Tag Under The Clitoral Hood Indicate?
I am 50 years old,
History
Psoriasis treated with topical steroid creams for 20 years.
6-9 months ago noticed what I think is a ? Skin tag smooth, pink, mucous membrane, flat, strip of very sensitive skin 3mm wide X 4 mm long X 1.5 mm thick protruding from under the clitoral hood on the right side of the clitoris.
Have noticed the? Skin tag has significantly increased in size and now appears to be 5mm wide at the base tapering down to approximately 3mm wide at the distal end X 1.5cm long X 2-3mm thick.
Have notice intermittently slight pain and irritation to the outer aspect of the R lateral side of the clitoris and? Skin tag post coitus.
I am now concerned given the? Rapid growth over the last 6-9 months.
Is this something to be concerned about? Is it a Skin tag?
Should I visit my GP urgently regarding this?

Hi,
There is nothing much to worry about this condition. This can be due to local hypertrophy, steroidal cream will be necessary.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
