Brief Answer:
Need details
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have seen the attached picture.
The lesion looks like a skin tag or a healed fissure to me.
I would like to know certain more details from you.
Have you ever had any bleeding from the area ?
Did you ever had pain during defecation leading to anal fissures during passage of hard stools?
I am asking you this to rule out skin tag secondary to healing of anal fissure .

The lesion appears to be a skin tag to me .
