Hey ladies, my obsessive checking has lead me to find something a bit embarrassing. It’s right beside the opening to my vagina….so close, that I thought it might be a hymen skin tag.
When I hold a hand mirror and shine my torch, it does kinda look like a pinky skin tag, but when I change angles or stretch it out, , it sorta looks more like an orange bubble.
It isn’t at all painful or causing any symptoms, and I wouldn’t have found it if I didn’t have a “genital wart” paranoia after finding a skin tag on my labia a few weeks ago.
It’s about the size of a pea, and quite soft and flappy.
But the orange colour when looking at it from a certain angle and stretching the skin out, has scared me.
Could it be a cyst? Infection? STI? HPV? Cancer?
Please can anyone reassure me.
I’m 40, and had same partner for almost half my life. I trust him and don’t believe he would have cheated. I’ve never had a vaginal birth.
Should I worry about this?
Note to add, i first noticed it about 10 days ago and its showing no signs of going away
