A member asked:

I was very constipated yrs ago & now have a painful but soft bump/lump/extra skin right outside of my anus. it bled at first & also bled when i had sharp stool passing. ive tried tucks no results. i dont want surgery. what can i try to get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What you described suggests a skin tag usually associated with an anal fissure. It is imperative that you avoid hard stools. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods.
