What is an Anal Skin Tag?

Why undergo anal skin tag removal?

Anal skin tags are firm, benign overgrowths of skin around the anal opening. They often develop when the skin rubs together and are more common in individuals who are overweight, have hemorrhoids, or suffer from specific conditions like Crohn's disease. Most anal skin tags are the same color as your natural skin tone, but in some cases, they may be discolored and slightly darker.

Although they typically do not require treatment, anal skin tags can be uncomfortable or embarrassing, prompting some individuals to opt for surgical removal for greater comfort.

Surgical excision is a safe and effective option for those wishing to remove an anal skin tag. Depending on the size, location, and your medical history, the method may vary. One of our medical practitioners would be happy to discuss your options and answer any questions regarding the process, helping you make the decision that best suits your comfort and confidence.

Several benefits include:

  • More comfort
  • Improved hygiene
  • Confidence boost
  • Relief from discomfort

The Anal Skin Tag Removal Procedure

The process of removing anal skin tags.

How does it work?

You will have a consultation to discuss your options and create your treatment plan with our team prior to your treatment. Once you agree to the plan, we will schedule your appointment. During the procedure, the excess skin is removed under local anesthesia, numbing the area. After the procedure, your doctor will walk you through recovery expectations, and our dedicated aftercare team will be available to support you and answer any questions during your healing process.

Duration of the treatment.

How long does the anal skin tag removal take?

Skin tag removal is a straightforward process that usually takes about 30–40 minutes to complete, including a brief consultation. After the procedure, you can leave and return to your normal activities immediately.

Removing skin tags at home.

Are home remedies effective?

Home removal of anal skin tags can cause pain, infection, or scarring. It is much safer to visit a professional, as they use clean instruments and equipment to carefully and effectively remove skin tags.

Personalised treatment plan.

What methods are used in removing skin tags?

Skin tag removal is a straightforward and speedy process. The doctor may clip the tag off with small scissors, or remove it using other methods such as laser treatment or cryotherapy (using liquid nitrogen).

Managing pain and discomfort.

Is it painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia by a colorectal or cosmetic surgeon, making it painless during the procedure. However, some mild discomfort may occur during recovery. Post-op instructions will help you recover comfortably and manage any soreness.

  • Constipation: Constipation soon after surgery may present a greater risk of developing anal fissures.
