What Causes Small Extra Flap Of Skin Near Anus?

Question: Hi for about 6/7 months I have had a very small extra flap of skin near my anus. I asked my mom and she passed it off as a hemmeriod. I'm worried it could be a wart. Please help! In May 2015 I have a normal pap and was clear from everything. The bump developed around July after I had been on birth control for 2 months. Could this just be a skin tag, it's sort of a yellow/skin color. PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURE BEFORE RESPONDING
Brief Answer:
Not a wart clinically
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome
I appreciate your concern
Warts are benign proliferations of skin and mucosa caused due to human papillomavirus. Currently, more than 100 types of HPV have been identified. They may occur at any site.
However based on the images that you uploaded, it's not a wart.
Kindly answer the following to comment further
Does the area hurt with or without passing stool or straining
Does the flap bleed
Is there any purulent discharge from the area
wishing you best of health
Thanks

Can I happen to ask why you say it is not a wart? It looks like a lot of the images I have seen on the Internet. I've obviously googled a lot, and scared myself a lot. There is no pain, blood, or discharge. I did last week have blood in my stool which my sister who is an RN attributed to possibly being an intern hemmeriod. Would this flap of skin come from that? If not what could it be ? Thanks you for the quick response !
Hello, please answer. Why would you not believe this is an anal wart. Really need help and advice. What do you think it would be. Sometimes j do have trouble passing my stools but not that often. Just need to know what is going on with my body. Please help!

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Remember, in clinical setting, internal hemorrhoids do bleed but aren't usually painful or itchy. External hemorrhoids don't bleed as much but are painful and itchy.
Based on close inspection of the images and having seen previous cases of warts, upon naked eye view of the images, the probability of warts is very low. The possible causes in this case are anal fissure, perianal abscess and fistulation are the likely causes.
You need to be examined by a general surgeon to do a digital rectal exam and proctoscopic exam to determine the cause.
Wishing you best of health
