What Causes Anal Skin Tags?

can be a pile (hemorrhoid) or sentinel pile as the commonest.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate: Female/26 - noticed for the first time yellow colored extra skin outside anal opening.
It may be:
- If bulbous and on either side, soft to touch, non-render, this can be a prolapsed pile.
- If in the front or the back like a skin tag with or without pain now or in the past can be a sentinel pile. This is just a skin tag and usually comes in response to the anal fissure sometime.
- If this is something else, I would like to know detailed history.
We have a facility that you can post a picture of the affected area alone (and you may please post only if are comfortable with)
I hope this answer helps you.
Please post if you have any symptoms or relevant history in the present or past for me to correlate better.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the clear image, this shows a small cuticular abscess.
Please apply liquid povidone iodine try to rub it off with a gauze piece or a cotton ball soaked in liquid povidone. Once the dead (yellow) skin is removed, this might heal fast.
If there is a deeper wound on removal of the yellow skin, please consult a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and to get prescription based medicines like antibiotic and anti-inflammatory if need be.
Does not appear to raise the alarm at the moment.
Hence not much to worry about at the moment.
