Patient: hi i am 38 and for a few months now i have noticed a nipping o my labia.  on looking i found a fleshy what i thought was a skin tag.  Stupidly i pulled it off. It has left an open sore and lloks like more could be coming back..There is also a dark patch which isnt on the other side.  I have been looking online and rightenied myself that this is cancer and i have been ignoring it.Im now wooried sick as the doctors arent open till mondayi thought it was just my scar from being cut when i was in labour but its worrying me as its adark patch Doctor: Hi, It is difficult to say without clinical examination. Many a time there are some fungal infection with similar features. You should not worry at all. Dark patch not only be due to cancer.There are other possibilities too. Do not  get nervous . Have a gynaecologist's appointment. He/she can guide you better. Nothing to think about cancer right now. There are more common diagnosis to be ruled out first.
