A skin tag is a small flesh colored piece of skin that hangs off the skin like a tag, thus the name. They can also be brown on a person with light skin color, but most often they are flesh colored. A mole is flatter and closer to the skin, usually brown and runs deeper into the skin.

Both skin tags and moles are generally non-cancerous. A skin tag is usually considered a cosmetic issue and is a small flaps of excess skin that can be an irritant if located in a sensitive area. Moles are caused by grouping of cells in the skin that have pigment in them. They are usually brown or black.

A skin tag is a small growth of extra skin that hangs from the rest of your normal skin. It is usually the same color and texture as your normal skin. A mole, however, is a brown or black growth on the skin that is more like a raise bump.

Skin tags are a flap of tissue that hangs from the skin by a connecting stalk- they are always benign. Moles are a cluster of skin cells that grew in a clump rather than spread out over the skin. They are usually darker than the surrounding skin, and have the potential to become cancerous, so watch for any changes.

I think I have skin tag but its longer and wrinkly and stretchy. I have never had intercourse. What is it? It's next to my vaginal opening and it's in my inner labia.
