Okay, I know it was probably very silly of me to do this, but I did it anyway so don't bother telling me off about it! :-D
I recently noticed a piece of skin dangling/sitting out just above my vagina. It has more of a tendency to stick upwards than dangle. It was about 1cm long 2mm wide with no nerve endings (I couldn't feel it when I pinched it). It was slightly white at the tip, like there wasn't any blood flow.
Figuring it wasn't supposed to be there as it's not on any diagrams, it made me feel very self conscious. I researched around on the internet and found out about sub-septate hymens, and it seems as though it could be that, except it doesn't dangle down over the vaginal opening, it sticks out just above it. I read on a few forums that people have snipped theirs off painlessly and had no problems, so I gave it a try myself.
I sterilized a pair of scissors and then snipped the tiniest little bit off the end, and it didn't hurt. It bled a bit though, and looking at the remnants of it, the dangly piece of skin seems to be a tiny tube (filled with blood). I am not going to snip any more off as I'm scared it might bleed too much and I'll have to tell people.
I was just wondering if any of you knew what it could be??? I'm a bit worried I'm a freak of nature! :-(

I'm glad that you recognize that what you did was a bit silly. I don't think that you're a freak of nature. Please recognize that diagrams are just drawings meant to help doctors see what the average vagina would look like but any deviations from that are not abnormal--it can happen to virtually anyone. Just because it's not on a diagram doesn't make you strange. In any case, If you are worried about it, see your doctor. They see much worse more frequently than you'd imagine, and this doesn't sound like a big deal.
