    Hi Katy, it's hard to tell fir sure from the picture but it looks to me like a skin tag and as you are not having any symptoms that makes me think more that it is a skin tag.

    It looks like it is very much on the surface of the skin so if it isn't a skin tag the other possibility is external Hemorrhoids. They usually cause discomfort having a bowel movement sitting down and itchiness.

    Skin tags and hemorrhoids can be treated just speak with your doctor about options.

    Hope this helps

    Rachael
