What Is an Anal Skin Tag?
Anal skin tags are benign growths of excess skin that commonly develop around the anal opening. They may occur as a result of:
Previous hemorrhoids
Childbirth or perineal stretching
Chronic irritation or inflammation
Healing after anal fissures
Changes in tissue elasticity over time
Although skin tags are non-cancerous, they can become symptomatic or bothersome for some individuals.
