Hello,

Sentinel tag is external hemorrhoid around the anus. Usually, it is giving minor discomfort, itching or pain during defecation in a varying number of cases. It is not a grave condition sign from anyway. Just manage to have regular soft stools for better results with sitz bath on a regular basis.


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