Hello,

The anal skin tag removal is the minor surgical procedure and the stitches you get are of absorbable quality, which does not hurt.

So do not get scared and undergo surgery to cure the condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
