Anal skin tags

I have had problems with an anal fissure for a while now, and as a result have formed a lot of skin tags/extra skin around my anus. I have had surgery to have them removed twice but they tend to grow back. Has anyone tried any home remedies with any success as I'd like to avoid surgery again? It's not possible to band them due to their position and size (the part where it joins my skin is quite long rather than what skin tags look like in other parts of the body). Even just shrinking them would be good...I wondered about the cremes/ natural oils you can buy online but am dubious about their success. Have even considered using freeze spray but too nervous. Any suggestions appreciated as I'm so sick of having these, I'm always conscious of them and they make hygiene very difficult. Thanks

    Hi Becky. I have skin tags. Other than not looking pretty, they don’t bother me. Are you wanting them removed just because of hygiene? I’m just curious if they cause other problems. I have a bidet that helps with hygiene!
