Anal skin tags (also called perianal skin tags) are harmless but can cause irritation, hygiene issues, or embarrassment. At Géniale, we use advanced non-surgical methods to remove them quickly and comfortably.

Understanding Anal Skin Tags

Anal tags are soft, small flaps of skin around the anus. They can be caused by:
• Previous haemorrhoids
• Chronic straining or constipation
• Friction or irritation
• Postpartum changes

They are generally about 2mm to 5mm and tend to appear like a stalk, but are sometimes larger or are often described as a small, fleshy grape.

What causes Anal Tags?

Anal tags are commonly caused by stretched out skin from a previous haemorrhoid (Piles).

When we have a bowel movement, the anal skin needs to expand to allow the stool to pass and generally the skin will shrink back after a bowel movement.

However, if there is an enlarged or swollen blood vessel, this can contribute to haemorrhoids and anal tags.

Blood vessels around the anal area tend to swell with diarrhea, straining from constipation, heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, pregnancy, blood clots and strenuous exercise while people with Crohn’s disease are at significantly greater risk of developing anal tags.

Skin tags can form for any of these reasons, but most commonly after a haemorrhoid has healed.

HAEMORRHOID v ANAL TAGS

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Many of our patients believe they have a haemorrhoid, when they actually have a skin tag.

It is important for a doctor to assess any below-the-belt hanging skin because haemorrhoids and skin tags are treated differently.

Haemorrhoids are typically painful and may bleed while skin tags often stem from a healed haemorrhoid, but are generally not painful and don’t bleed.

EMBARRASSED or ANNOYED BY ANAL TAGS?

You don’t have to live with them, as these anal skin tags can be treated by removing them.

Skin tags are uncomfortable and cause hygiene or embarrassment issues.

As with other skin tags, Anal Tags are normally harmless and are not a medical issue, but they can often be.

They can often be the legacy of previous haemorrhoids which have shrunk down to simple protrusions around the anal area.

Anal Skin Tags if left untreated can possibly lead to itching, irritability, and pain especially when subjected to friction or rubbing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the symptoms of anal tags?

How is an anal tag removed?

Can you remove an anal tag yourself?

How should I prepare for an anal skin tag removal procedure?

How long will it take to recover?

Generally, there is little down time, and you may need to remain at home for a day and avoid lifting, sex or strenuous exercise for the next week.

You should be able to go back to work a day or two after procedure and can return to normal activities in the first week.

Anal sex should be avoided for two weeks.

You will also be prescribed antibiotic cream to apply to the back passage to prevent infection.

You will be given pain relief and/or numbing cream to decrease pain and sensitivity which can last for up to three to five days.

Although anal tags mostly do not grow back, people who are prone to haemorrhoids or skin tags may get new ones, or for a small number of people the original haemorrhoid may grow back.

How can I help with recovery

Things to have at home

1 packet of Zooper Doopers for icing the area
1 kg packet of table salt
Water baby wipes

Within the first 4 days after the surgery, Zooper Doopers can be applied
hourly to the surgical site to minimize swelling as much as possible.

Avoid washing the surgical site during a shower. Instead, use babywipes to clean the area.

On the 5th day you may like a warm salt bath to help with the itchiness. This may be done as much as you feel needed.

You will be given pain relief, numbing cream and antibiotic ointment to
take home with you to help with the uncomfortably and prevention of infection once you arrive home.

Will I need stitches?

How much will it cost?
