Still get checked: This could be a number i'd things, from a viral infection, a skin tag, hemorrhoid, or most seriously a rectal cancer. While it is more likely benign, it's best to have a healthcare professional take a look to rule out viral or cancer origins. Hope that helps and remember, it's most likely nothing, but just rule it out so there are no surprise later on!

Polyp?: Without an exam it is hard to say. It could be a polyp, a hemorrhoid, or a skin tag. All of these can be asymptomatic. I would recommend you see your doctor to be sure of what it is.
