I have a loose lump of skin near the opening to my anus any ideas?

Skin tag...: What you are describing sounds like a anal skin tag caused by hemorrhoids. They are essentially the remnants of previously swollen hemorrhoids. They are not associated with any particular pathology but if they are large can interfere with anal hygiene.
