Brief Answer:
Most probably prolapsed piles.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and clear picture.
Noted the history of soft bumps, no irritation, no itching, no pain , no bleeding.

These are appearing like prolapsed Hemorrhoids (piles). The prolapse is a part of this problem hence the appearance as seen in the picture.

I can understand as these are asymptomatic, you may not like any surgery.
The choice is yours.

I hope this answer helps you.

What are the treatments avaiable, is it contagious ? Is there any medicine which can or just a surgery ? there was another doctor i found online told me they look like anal skin tags

Answered by Dr. T Chandrakant (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Not contagious; surgery is the only option.

Detailed Answer:
Surgery is the only option in such a case.
It is not contagious. Anal skin tags are very small and are present only at the front or the back portion and are due to anal fissure.
Anal fissure is a very painful condition.

Therefore I did not consider skin tag as the first possibility.
