MEDICAL PRACTITIONER-LED CLINIC FOR MEN & WOMEN
Anal Tag Removal Consultations
Confidential assessment for anal or perianal skin tags, symptoms, diagnosis, suitability, treatment options, risks and referral considerations.
Confidential clinical discussion
Not every lump or skin change is an anal tag
Anal and perianal skin changes can have different causes. A clinical assessment helps determine whether a visible or palpable area is consistent with a skin tag or whether further review is needed.
Treatment is not recommended until the clinician has considered symptoms, examination findings, medical history and possible alternative diagnoses.
