How To Remove The Skin Tag Located In The Anal Region?

I am 42, I have a skin tag that my Dr. has determined doesn t need to be removed. I receive medical assistance from Pa. I also receive disability benefits (SSDI). It is located in the anal region and it does become irritated on occasion and it also is somewhat embarassing so I have avoided personal relationships. I realize this may seem ridiculous but it is not to me. Can you give me advice of what I can possibly do to remove this burden.

Hi,

After reading your query I can make two possibilities:

1. Sentinel pile related to hemorrhoids: It is a over proliferation of skin due to hemorrhoids and is exactly at the verge of anal skin.

2. Simple skin tags: It is a over proliferation of skin simply due to aging process.

IF it is Sentinel pile related to hemorrhoids then you can meet a surgeon preferably and can get it excised. Excision is a simple procedure which takes just few minute.

If these are Simple skin tags then can be meet a dermatologist and get it removed by simple process of radio-frequency.

Take care.
