A member asked:

What is a "skin tag" that comes with an anal fissure? is that a small lump of skin coming out of an anus visible from outside?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sentinel tag: Chronic fissures may be more difficult to treat and may also have an external lump associated with the tear, called a sentinel pile or skin tag, as well as extra tissue just inside the anal canal, referred to as a hypertrophied papilla.
