Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have reviewed the reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). It is not skin cancer. It is an acrochordon (a skin tag). Treatment options include electro-dessication, thermal cautery, liquid nitrogen (freeze-thaw-freeze technique), radio-frequency, and fractional CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser. I have these suggestions for you.

You must avoid occlusion or friction in that area. You must maintain proper genital hygiene.

Please answer a few questions.

• Have you recently used any cosmetic products?
• Do you have any history of using old razors?
• Are you sexually active?
• Do you have a fungal infection history?
• Are you a diabetic person?

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Differential diagnosis is "common wart," which is a small, firm, sessile, and cauliflower-like growth. It can be due to broken skin, injury, or infection. They are asymptomatic, harmless, and self-limiting. The surface is irregular, barbed, and scaly. The best treatment option is light cautery, electro-desiccation, or curettage.

I suggest you avoid sharing personal belongings. Please answer a few questions.

• Do you have a history of unsafe sex?
• Have you ever used lubricants in the past?
• Do you masturbate frequently?
• Does this lesion cause pain on touching?
• Is there any aggravation of itching at night?
• Do you have a family history of diabetes?
• Have you noticed a recent weight gain?
• Are you under stress?
• Have you got any serology tests done?
• Are there any other sites of involvement? Like- underarms, thighs, groin, eyelids, or neck.
• Do you have any history of surgery in the past?

Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.

Thank you.
