Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history fistula-in-ano surgery 8 months ago wherein the wound has healed well, there is no discharge, no external opening.
There is a tiny surgical tag and little pain and sensation in the entire butt area especially when you sit for a long time.
This indicates that there is complete healing but the scar tissue is now sensitive to the long hours of pressure on sitting.
The skin tag is normal after most of the surgeries so nothing to worry about.
