What Causes A Growing Skin Tag At The Anus?
I had some skin hanging from my butt. I m a little bit worried. It s not hurting but it s so disgusting. Before it was just a small skin hanging but now it s getting bigger and when I sit I can see that skin hanging from my butt hole. Can you tell me why and what should I do?

Hello,
Surgical excision will be the treatment of choice. Nothing much to worry and it can be easily done under local anesthesia. A colonoscopy may be required prior to the procedure to rule out other bowel-related problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
