Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am being treated for internal hemerrhoids, but the source of most of my pain seems to be coming from a skin tag. I've seen many colorectal doctors for this. Would I bet better suited to see a dermatologist to have removed or stick with colorectal?
colorectal doctors are the correct persons to treat your skin tags with internal haemorrhoids. Internal haemorrhoids are first almost always treated conservatively by dietary modifications like taking easily digestible high fibre diets and avoiding spicy and oily foods with sitz bath(sitting in Luke warm water mixed with dettol 4 times a day each about 10 minutes) and stool softener.If your symptoms worsen it's better to go for surgery(Haemorrhoidectomy with skin tag excision).Even After that it's better to follow the above said lifestyle modifications.
