A member asked:
Can anal fissures cause extra skin growths around anal area i've had anal fissure problems before this is the first time i noticed skin growths ?

Yes: A chronic fissure will often develop a "sentinel tag" at the base of the fissure. If you have growths elsewhere it may be unrelated to the fissure.

Yes: A reactionary skin growth can form right at the base of the fissure. This is benign but can cause problems with hygiene.
