What is an anal skin tag?
Skin tags are growths of excess skin. They are typically a few centimeters or less in size and are the same color (or slightly darker) as the rest of the skin. Most of the time, skin tags go unnoticed and cause no issues. Occasionally, they can get in the way of everyday life because of sensitivity, or even itch.

What causes anal skin tags?
The true cause of tags is often unclear, but when they form around the anus, it’s usually related to one of the following causes:
Diarrhea – Frequent loose stools can irritate the skin around the anus, due to the acidity and friction caused by toilet paper.
Hemorrhoids – Commonly impacting 1 out of 20 Americans, hemorrhoids are inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum or anus. As these veins shrink during the healing process, it’s possible for anal skin tags to form.
Irritation or Friction – Anal tags typically develop in areas with frequent friction. Common causes for this friction include prolonged sitting, certain types of clothing, exercise, or anal intercourse.
Constipation – When someone is constipated and has large stools, the skin has to stretch in order to accommodate. This puts strain and pressure on the anus and leads to bulging blood vessels. When the skin doesn’t fully shrink back to normal, an anal skin tag may form.
Crohn’s disease – People suffering from Crohn’s disease usually have diarrhea and constipation which are causes listed above. A 2008 clinical study even confirmed a higher occurrence of anal skin tags in people with this disease.
