If you're concerned about skin tags around the anus, we're here to help with safe, effective treatment and compassionate care.
What Are Anal Skin Tags?
Anal skin tags are small, soft pieces of excess skin around the anus. They are usually benign (non-cancerous) and often form as a result of:
- Previous haemorrhoids (piles)
- Chronic constipation or straining
- Skin friction or irritation
- Healing from anal fissures or trauma
- Pregnancy or childbirth
While anal skin tags are not dangerous, they can cause discomfort, interfere with hygiene, or become irritated. Many people choose to have them removed for physical relief or improved confidence.
Why Consider Skin Tag Removal?
You might consider anal skin tag excision if:
- The tag is causing discomfort or itching
- You experience difficulty cleaning the area
- The tag becomes irritated by clothing or movement
- You’re self-conscious about the appearance
- You want to rule out other conditions with a consultant’s assessment
At The Precision Clinic, all procedures are consultant-led and tailored to your specific needs, with clear guidance on what to expect before, during, and after treatment.
What Does the Procedure Involve?
Anal skin tag excision is a straightforward minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic (or sedation if needed). The process typically involves:
- Consultation – A private assessment with your consultant to confirm the diagnosis and ensure the skin tag is benign.
- Procedure – The tag is carefully removed using a precise surgical technique to minimise trauma and improve healing.
- Recovery – The procedure is usually done as a day case with no need for an overnight stay. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days.
- Aftercare – We provide clear instructions on cleaning, managing discomfort, and promoting healing.
