Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Polyps are similar in appearance to vaginal skin tags, and it's thought that estrogen and inflammation can lead to or cause polyps.
These polyps may be bigger than skin tags, and they may cause more pain because of their size.
Treatment for vaginal skin tags may not be necessary.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
