What Is an Anal Skin Tag?

Anal skin tags are benign growths of excess skin that commonly develop
around the anal opening.

They can occur due to previous hemorrhoids, childbirth or perineal stretching,
chronic irritation or inflammation, healing after anal fissures,
or changes in tissue elasticity over time.
Although skin tags are non-cancerous, they can become symptomatic or bothersome for some individuals.
