Should I Worry About The Skin Tag From Rectum That Seems To Be Growing?

Hello, I have a small piece of skin ( almost like a skin tag ) hanging from my anus ( bum hole sorry to be so blunt ) I ve had it for roughly 5 years but it s gradually got bigger in the last 6 months. It does not hurt or itch ( you don t know you have it) only bleed a couple of times after passing a hard stool. Is this anything serious or simple just a skin tag?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having sentinel piles as skin tag appearing on the opening of anus.
It indicates that you are having internal hemorrhoids inside.
It has no other significance.
Consult surgeon and get examined for internal piles.
Avoid constipation.
Ok and take care.
