How To Treat Bleeding Of Skin Tag From Anus?

I am a 25 year old female. I have had problems pooping for most of my life. I have been to the doctor and they said I had a tear in my anus (about 2 years ago). They gave me suppositories to take for 4 days. When I poop, it will tear and bleed. A few months ago I found what I thought was a skin tag. It was very small so I thought nothing of it. This past weekend, I had a solid poop which I had to use force to get out. Now, I have a tag that is the size of a peanut m&m. It is also bleeding quite a bit. Do I go see a doctor?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thankyou for contacting HCM.

You appear to be suffering from External Hemorrhoids. They increase in size due to pooling of blood in them on forceful expulsion of stool. This is what I believe happened to you.
I would recommend you consult your local physician to get them physically examined and plan the further management accordingly.

In the meanwhile, I would suggest
1. 3 tbsp of laxative at bedtime.
2.Local application of Lignocaine gel before and after passing stool.
3. Sitz bath....that is sitting in a warm tub of water for 15 minutes daily.
4. Increase intake of fluids, fruits and vegetables.

I hope this answers your query. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
