No: Make sure it is a skin tag - these are usually just annoying and not painful. If in doubt, consult with your physician.

What would be recommended to take care of an anal skin tag?

Have it snipped off: Under local anesthesia by your family doctor, proctologist (if you can still find a practicing one), or colorectal surgeon. This is not something you can self-treat, nor should you. Even though it's a truly simple quick procedure, if it gets infected you have big trouble, so let an expert do it and follow up appropriately!

Colon Polyps: Colon polyps are important because they may be, or may become malignant (cancerous). They also are important because based on their size, number, and histology, they can predict which patients are more likely to develop further polyps and colon cancer.

Sound like you need to see a doctor in person. I don't think virtual medicine can evaluate this well
