Scarring and Extra Skin

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have had an anal skin tag surgery done and even after doing it the scar tissue still makes me look like I have two tags. What is the likeliness for it to shrink? One of the scar areas does swell after a bowel movement and sort of is like a lump when I wipe.

    I had my 5 week post op appointment and my doctor assured me that bumps down there for weeks after your surgery is normal. How long ago was your surgery?
