Anal Skin Tags

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hey everyone, I've been dealing with this problem for about 6 months now and could desperately use some advice! A while back I experienced hemorrhoids, they have since cleared up and I no longer experience the pain or discomfort! The bad news is I still have lumps around my anus that are pain-free, but rather bothersome... I consulted my doctor on my most recent visit and he said it sounds as if they're skin tags that were a result of my hemorrhoid flair up, he stated they pose no problem but I could get them surgically removed if I wish. I'm 23 years old and would really like these to clear up sooner rather than later, and see surgery as a last alternative, so I was wondering if anyone has experienced these skin tags and if you had any recommendations for me! I saw some comments online about natural herbs that help clear them up. I regularly take sitz bathes as well as put hemorrhoid cream on the problem area, thank you!!

    Hey Will,

    I experienced some external hems when i was about 20 years old and although they have since gone I did have some tiny skin tag type symptoms left however they did completely disappear within a year or two. I've since seen specialists about internal hems that said they were surprised that I didn't have skin tags from the other external ones that I experienced and that said that it must be from taking care of my diet to make sure bowel movements are easy! I think that a good diet and just a bit of time should clear you up with the skin tags especially because you are so young 😃
