Brief Answer:
Please provide more information

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic
Loose skin at anus might be related to hemorrhoids or anal tag
Here I would like further information for better assessment of the condition
Since how long it has been there ?
Does it bleed at times ?
Are you having itching or irritation in perianal region?
Your age and relevant medical history

In my opinion you should not manipulate it any more
Try to avoid constipation or straining at stool.
maintain good hygiene.

Please write back to me with these details so that I will be able to tell you more precisely
Best wishes

Hello
welcome again and thanks for the follow up question.
You need not to worry, since its not troubling you as of now and I can't physically examine you to get more clues so I would advise you to consult your nearest doctor in your own time for physical examination and further course of action.

Meanwhile keep it clean and maintain good hygiene.

Hope this answers your question
