What Causes An External Skin Tag Near Vagina?

I just noticed my 7 year old daughter has skin hanging out of her vaginal area when she s standing. Is this normal? I ve never seen it before but noticed when she got out out the shower and was standing putting her lotion on. Should I take her to a doctor?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Skin like tag hanging from vagina in a 7 year old certainly needs evaluation.
One possibility is it could be polyp arising from vaginal mucosa or may be cervical polyp hanging downwards.
To confirm what could it be, you need to get her examined by a Gynecologist and then appropriate treatment for it could be planned.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
