A member asked:

What is this extra skin growing around my anus and what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scar tissue: Usually extra skin growing around the anus is scar tissue that results from a fissure in ano. If you had a painful tear with persistant pain and bleeding with bowel movements this would be the result.

A member asked:

I've had loose extra skin around my anus for about 10 yrs. Chronic constipation as a child so I think it's from the straining. No pain, no blood, no itching, but it's slowly stretched more with time. No doctor has commented on it. Do I need to worry?
