What Does A Skin Tag Around The Anus Indicate?
This sounds weird and possibly like a prank but I assure you I am not joking or being sarcastic.
I am 18 year old male and I am concerned as I have noticed a painless, small fold of flesh slightly to the side of my anus.
I am concerned as to what it is, as the common causes usually affect older people, and I am not even sure who to go to to get it checked out. I am not sexually active, do not smoke, rarely drink.
Could it be a harmless skin tag?

Hi,
Skin tags around the perianal region can affect any people and it is seen in all age groups.
You can consult a general surgeon and get it removed under local anesthesia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
