I just had a procedure where my Gynecologist removed what we thought were skin tags….but because of excessive bleeding she sent to the lab as a biopsy, this is the 2nd time. The first came back as skin cancer, which was treated by a Dermetologist but then 2 came back again. How common is Vaginal Skin Cancer? This is not an area that is exposed to the sun at all. How does this happen. I keep getting a runaround on WebMD, can’t seem to pin it down.
