how to tell if i have hpv or just a skin tag

i’ve had a skin tag on my pubic area for about a year, it’s raised a bit and looks a bit bubbly but it’s darker than my skin tone. i haven’t had any pain or itchiness and it hasn’t changed since it showed up. my family has a long history with skin tags and skin cancer. I have also had 3 small warts on other parts of my body (finger, wrist and ankle) for a few years. they don’t look anything like the one im concerned about.
