Is Large Pink Protrusion On Vagina Skin Tag?

I have been married for 5 years and have had only 1 sexual partner. Recently I had a protrusion from my labia minora. I went to the emergency ward and the doctor said it was a skin tag. However 2 weeks later a gynecologist said it was a wart. I have no other symptoms and am curious as to the difference of opinions. The protrusion is pinkish and relatively large (about 2 cm). My last pap test was exactly a year ago and showed no issues. I have had this skin tag/wart for about 8 months now.
