What Causes Dark Colored Skin Tag On Pubic Area?

there something that have grown in my pubic area, its about 2yrs now now and it grow like the size of a pencil eraser, but its flat, i dont know if its a wart or a mole, at first i taught it was a wart so i put a duct tape on it, as the other website had said for a home remedy, but as of now it came into my mind that maybe its a mole, its dark in color, the shape is more like a coliflower.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
Yes most probably its a skin tag or mole. If it is so, there is nothing much to do, it won't cause any problem. But chances of a wart cannot be ruled out. I would suggest you to visit a DERMATOLOGIST for examination and further management, because a diagnosis cannot be made without examining it. Don't manipulate with it or apply some home medications.



Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
