Is A Pus-filled, Itchy Growth In Labia A Skin Tag Or Wart?
Went to Dr. Today have a growth on a stalk like base on my labia. Dr would not remove wants me to go to specialist. Thinks its a skin tag or wart. I am a 49 year old married for 30 years how could this be a wart? It is sometimes itchy and pus filled. I thought it was ingrown hair. How will something like this be removed?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pus filled itchy growth is more likely to be due to a blocked infected gland or a hair follicle rather than a wart. It can be an infected wart also. A direct examination is an integral part of diagnosis in such cases.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
