Brief Answer:
This is not wart.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have seen carefully your picture and without a history of anal sex, I think this is not a wart but just anal skin tag.

As well as in the picture I see anal fissure that could be because of the yeast infection and you should use antifungal local treatment.

I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.

Hi Doctor,

I have another question. I had a small grey streak on my peri-anal area. My doctor said it was not a wart and performed the vinegar test but it seems to have gotten a bit bigger since. I performed the vinegar test myself today and it did not turn white. But, I just wanted to have a confirmation on whether or not it is wart.

I have sent pictures via email and I am sorry they are not very clear

Regards
doctor
