A member asked:

I think i had chronic anal fissures, it looks like a skin tag has grown in the place where is should have healed. it has gotten bigger. what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Proctologist: The skin tag is probably not symptomatic and requires no removal,but if you still have concerns a proctologist or colon-rectal surgeon would be best qualified to evaluate and advise you.
