I had a mole excision midway down my back today and I have stitches. I would like to wash my hair and the rest of my body. Can I wash my hair if I don't get the incision site wet?

The majority of all skin lesions are benign especially if you have had them since childhood. But any mole that changes in size, texture or color should ABSOLUTELY be removed to rule out cancer. Consult a surgeon this week. Good luck and take care.
The fact that you have had this pigmented area on you vagina for so long suggests it likely is benign, but I recommend you have it evaluated by your gynecologist or a general surgeon and consider biopsy to definitively rule out a cancer or precancer. Good luck and take care.
Looking at the picture it looks like it could be a skin tag. Honestly it hard to tell for sure with the picture . Skin tags are completely benign and really only a nuisance since they often get caught in clothing and then become irritated. I would recommend you have a doctor check it out...
