Skin Tag vs. Genital Wart?

How do you tell the difference between the two? There is only one, and I though that for it to be warts you had more than one. There is information saying that you can confuse a wart, a skin tag, and a mole, so how do you truely tell the difference? Especially if there is no 'sure fire' way to 'test' for warts?





**I know the 'Go to the doctor' people will be out today...so read the following...





My doctor has never said anything about it, so I always though it was a skin tag, until I saw his nurse yesterday. She tells me it's warts. Do I panic (not literally), or do I just wait for my doctor to check it out first? Plus it's not like I haven't had that area checked out a billion times in the last 6 months, b/c I'm pregnant. So it's not likely that my doctor missed something like this right?





~Oh boy, here we go...

Skin Tag vs. Genital Wart?
I wouldn't worry yet. I would just mention it to the doctor next time you're in and tell him that his nurse mentioned it was a wart. He should be able to tell you and then remove it if necessary. It's not uncommon for pregnant women to get skin tags. It's also common for overweight and older people. I seriously doubt you have a single genital wart though. Good luck!
Reply:Either one...





there is a procedure to get rid of both
Reply:I have had genital warts for sometime..the kind of HPV that i have is only in my blood stream which means that I dont really have any signs or symptoms from it except a few bumps that are rather small....I have nothing like the pics you see on here...I have skin tags as well...Skin tags are more of a little flap of skin where as a wart feels or looks like a hard mole....i have one bump that feels andlooks like a mole but it is a wart...I would have YOUR doctor take a look at it and see what he/she says....if you have not already i would GOOGLE both of those and look at pics to get a general idea of what they both look like...
Reply:TELL YOUR DOCTOR YOU MAY HAVE A WART AND YOU ARE CONCERNED HE WILL BE EMBRASSED HE DIDNT TELL YOU ALL THIS TIME
