To recapitulate: Female/26 - skin tags from hemorrhoids that develop after childbirth - concerned about the purple around anus as depicted in the picture you have provided.
Please give some additional information for me to assist you the best:
- Since when have you noticed this?

As per the picture your have provided, there is purple color and the skin is elevated and looks as if the hair follicles are also inflamed. This can be a dermatitis with mild infection.
