Hi,
I have had this loose flap of skin on my anus for awhile now (i actually have 2, 1 is smallish and 1 is a bit bigger, not huge but bigger than the other one.) I'm not really too sure how to describe it..but thats as close as I can get. It's not painful or itchy but I'm still kinda scared. It's not bleeding or anything. Any ideas what it could be, how long it will last and how to make it go away? I thought it could be external hemorriods but im not sure. Has anyone had anything like this before? Im not exactly sure how long it's been there as its not painful so its hard to tell, im pretty sure it wasnt there before i fell pregnant tho.
Sorry if TMI, i see the MW's tomorrow so i will ask them as well.
Thanks

I also have one of these and was told by a mw that it was a skin tag and it is harmless :yes:. I had it before I was pregnant but never knew what it was.

I have one of those on my thigh and it grows bigger when I'm pregnant. Hemorrhoids usually cause bleeding and can be itchy or feel like glass shards are coming out of you, so it sounds harmless to me. Ask your GP next time you have a check up just to be sure.

Haemorroids are actually like varicose veins and are a little like blood clots so they would feel hard and a little painful and sometimes you will have bleeding and feel itchy.

What you describe is more like skin tags.
