Dear Ms
From the description given its is likely to be either
1. Skin tag
2. Sentinel pile : It is not related to pile in general. It is excessive growth of skin seen at site of previous anal fissure
Exact diagnosis will however depend on clinical examination. Providing a clinical photograph will be helpful for arriving at definite cause .
Awaiting your response
