Q: I found 2 growths on my vaginal area! possible misdiagnosis!

I feel like if its not one thing its another.......
I'm a 28 yr old woman and I found 2 growths on my vaginal area. I researched herpes and genital warts and NOTHING looks like this. Those are obvious, and come with some obvious symptoms (ichy, discomfort, pain, swelling..... I have none of those. They dont look like what I researched. They look more like a "skin tag". Fleshy colored, and raised up off my skin, and hard. I have even had a problem with retention cysts down there but "SURELY" isnt one of those. I never had abnormal paps and was at my OBGYN not 6moths ago and didnt have any problems. When I found them I naturally paniced. I dont think I would have noticed they were even there, but needless to say how I found them, they are there. I have a DOC apt. this week but scared of what he'll tell me. My biggest fear is misdiagnosis (its happened before) I dont sleep around and the last guy I was with, I was with him for 8yrs. He wasnt a cheater just a drug user. Anyways thats off the subject.
Can someone help me.!? I just want to go into the doc. office with a list of possibilities instead of possible misdiagnosis. THANKS ALL

They do sound like skin tags to me, and that may be all that they are Smile Good luck; I really don't have any other information I can give.

Have you watched the show HOUSE m.d. Yeah. There is this one episode where a girl had two growths in her vagina and it turned out to be testicles. But that is probably not what you have.
