    It is most likely a hemorrhoid but it is hard to see the skin tag with it spread out like that if you can get a picture not spread showing the tag it will be easier to see.

      I have two in grade 2. Sometimes I have more stressful crises, or when I eat more intense foods, hemorrhoids come out and hurt a lot by touch, or sitting. The alternative would be removal by surgery, but there are studies that indicate that in grade 2, it may be better to go on.

    I think you're good. As others have already stated, it just looks like a 'roid.
