Recently, i have had small mole-like growths near my anus.can they be removed? thanks i'm 53 years old and have not had these growths before.

This : This is difficult to answer without a clinical examination so i would see a dermatologist. Possibilities include skin tags, hemorrhoids, seborrheic keratoses, warts, molluscum, moles, or other possibilities. Take a look at a picture of these at the link below. I hope that helps!

Growth: Yes a dermatologist can remove the growth typically with just a simple procedure.
