Look For
What Are Anal Skin Tags?
Anal skin tags are benign skin growths that often develop after swelling in the anal area. As the swelling resolves, the stretched skin may remain, creating a small flap of tissue.
Many individuals choose to remove them for:
Improved comfort
Better hygiene
Cosmetic preference
Relief from itching or irritation

Several factors may contribute to their development, including:
Straining during bowel movements
Swelling from hemorrhoids
Chronic irritation from diarrhea, wiping, or friction
Pressure changes related to pregnancy
Heavy lifting or increased abdominal pressure
While not all cases are preventable, managing these factors can reduce the risk of new tags forming.
Removal is a quick, outpatient treatment performed under local anesthesia.
