ANAL SKIN TAG REMOVAL FOR MEN

Discreet Treatment for Anal Skin Tags

Anal skin tags are small, soft pieces of excess skin around the anus. Although usually harmless, they can cause irritation, discomfort, difficulty with personal hygiene or concerns about appearance.

We provide men with a private, discreet and professional assessment and treatment service.

What Causes Anal Skin Tags?

Anal skin tags can develop following haemorrhoids, anal fissures, inflammation, swelling or repeated irritation. Sometimes there is no obvious cause.

They are generally benign and are not sexually transmitted. However, because lumps around the anus can have different causes, professional assessment is important before treatment.

Why Have an Anal Skin Tag Removed?

Men may choose removal because a skin tag:

• Makes cleaning difficult
  • Becomes irritated, itchy or uncomfortable
  • Rubs or catches against clothing
  • Causes concerns about appearance
  • Is simply unwanted

Anal Skin Tag Removal

Your clinician will examine the area to confirm that it is a skin tag and check for any underlying problems.

Treatment will depend on the size, number and location of the skin tags. Your clinician will explain the procedure, pain relief or anaesthesia, potential risks, recovery and expected outcome before you decide whether to proceed.#

Anal Skin Tag Removal FAQs

Are anal skin tags the same as haemorrhoids?

No. Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels, whereas an anal skin tag is excess skin. However, a skin tag can sometimes remain after a haemorrhoid has reduced.

Are anal skin tags dangerous?

Most are benign. However, a new or changing lump, bleeding, significant pain, discharge or other unexplained symptoms should always be medically assessed.

Recovery & Aftercare

Some soreness, tenderness or swelling can occur following treatment.

You'll receive aftercare advice covering hygiene, managing discomfort and caring for the area while it heals, as well as when you can return to exercise, sexual activity and other normal activities.

Are anal skin tags sexually transmitted?

No. Anal skin tags are not sexually transmitted infections. However, other conditions can sometimes look similar, which is why an accurate diagnosis is important.

Can I remove an anal skin tag myself?

No. Attempting to cut, burn or tie off a skin tag yourself can cause bleeding, infection or injury. It should be assessed and treated by an appropriate clinician.

Does anal skin tag removal hurt?

The area is sensitive, so appropriate pain relief or anaesthesia will be discussed. Some soreness, swelling or tenderness may occur during recovery.

How long does it take to heal?

Healing time varies depending on the extent of treatment. Your clinician will explain what to expect and provide detailed aftercare instructions.

Will it leave a scar?

Any procedure involving the removal of skin can potentially cause some degree of scarring. The likely outcome will be discussed before treatment.

Can anal skin tags come back?

A removed skin tag does not normally regrow, although new skin tags can develop, particularly if contributing problems such as haemorrhoids or irritation recur.

Can anal skin tags affect sex?

They don't normally affect sexual function, although irritation, discomfort or self-consciousness can affect some men. Your clinician will advise when you can resume sexual activity after treatment.
