Hello Dear,
Thanks for your updated information.
1) According to my opinion, it is mostly suggestive of ANAL SKIN TAG (as it was present before your sexual activity), which is basically harmless growth on the skin outside the anus.
However, we need to rule out genital or anal wart and presence of malignant growth through clinical or rectal examination, histopathological examination or biopsy of that part. You may require to undergo complete STD profile and HPV test to exclude other pathogen.
2) Proper treatment can be done after confirmation of the diagnosis. Surgical excision under local or general anesthesia, laser therapy, Liquid nitrogen cryosurgery etc can be done to remove the skin tag. It is outdoor procedure and you should consult with dermatologist or physician for the same.
3) Recovery is quick after surgical procedure. You should maintain your genital hygiene properly before and after sex, at the time of using toilet. Sitz bath may be advisable to soothe the area.
Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
