What Causes Tissue Growth On The Upper Labial Frenulum?
I am a 34 year old female of average weight (150 lbs) and average height (5'5"). I recently noticed a flat piece of tissue/growth hanging down on my upper labial frenulum. It is dark pink/almost red looking. It is smooth a if flattened is squarish in shape. It resembles a skin tag but seems like an odd place to get one. Any ideas of what this might be? I have no history of HPV and do not use tobacco products.
