Does A Painless Extra Layer On The Anus Need Medical Attention?
I had extra skin on my anus for a long time, but I never really worry if it s harmful or not. I showed my girlfriend, and she looked it up. She s really worry that it could be dangerous and wants me to see the doctor and get it removed, but I don t want to because it s really embarrassing. There has never been any bleeding or pain or discomfort. It s soft, and it s not giving me any problems. What do you think this is, and is it harmful?

this could be fibrosed haemorrhoids or skin tag but you really need not to worry if there is no pain , no bleed , no growth of the skin tag. you may consult a local surgeon and show him your extra skin and if you feel uncomfortable with extra skin you may get it removed. there is nothing to be shy of.
