A member asked:
There is something that is hanging off my anus and now it's swollen and tender. i believe i had a skin tag to begin with, but it is concerning me now?

Consider evaluation: Consider seeing a doctor and have an examination. Besides a skin tag, you may have an external hemorrhoid or a pilonidal cyst which may be either infected or incarcerated.

Pilonidal Cyst: From what you are describing, it sounds like you may have a pilonidal cyst that needs to be drained.
