You may need to see a doctor even if you dont want to. [ xoBabiiGurlxo's advice column | Ask xoBabiiGurlxo A Question ]

When someone is extremely concerned or confused about their body, the only person who cna put their mind to rest is a doctor. No matter how much advice you get, you are still asking - so go see a doctor!
Doctors deal with bodies every day. Vaginas, breasts, poop, bad breath, weird skin infections. You have nothing they have not seen before. You will probably feel embarassment about seeing a doctor, but isn't that better than worrying all the time?
I honestly think you have nothing to worry about. Your vagina has outer lips, which you can see just be looking in a mirror, but if you pull them apart you'll probably see your inner lips, too. These could be the 'extra skin.' Your inner lips could be large, small, tucked up, slightly hanging lower than your outer lips - that's how vaginas are. Like snowflakes, no two are alike.
Don't tug at this skin. If you are not itching, having thick smelly discharge, or experiencing other discomfort in your genital area, chances are that you are fine.
Why have you noticed it? From the normal experience of pulling your tampon out, or because you have been looking at yourself closely in a mirror?

The skin you are talking about sounds basically normal. I don't think its anything to worry about. However, if you are still worried about this, talk to your mom about it. Tell her what you "found" and tell her you don't know why you have skin there or what it could be. I'm sure she may tell you the same thing I did, however, just to be on the safe side... I'd talk to her about it. Talking to a mom can always help. She's been in situations like that before so she can help you.
