Rectal/Anal Skin Tags

[Betrayed Body]

Has anybody gone through rectal/anal skin tag removal?  

I had one removed by my doctor in his office.  He used lidocaine (6 shots that were unbelievable painful) to numb the area and cut it off and cauterized the area.  

I'm having a rough time - I feel like I have the worst hemorroid flare up going on right now.  I'm taking colace and fiber supplement, drinking plenty of water and began using the Desitin a few days before they recommended I start.  I dread going to the bathroom, but I go regularily.  I can't wipe so I'm taking showers and bath several times a day.  

Does anybody have any similar experiences or suggestions to offer?

I have a huge anal skin tag, size of a prune I would say.  I tried the small braid bands as well and the tag grew to 3 times the size and looked like it had changed to hemmoroid.  It was so painful I could stand it, and took the band off, did I take it off too soon?  Another thing my tag surround the entrance.

Just had my anal skin tag removed 14 days ago. Pain was minimal. My concern is the swelling. It has gone down soo slowly and the swelling itself is kind of hard. I don't see the doc for another 2 weeks. Think it'll go down by then?

My question is this.  I have a large anal skin tag I tried rubber banding as well and it swelled up 5 times the size, and it hurt so much after over an hour I had to search for the bands and take them off.  So what I'm asking is it's right in the opening and I would have to rubber band my rectal area shot, which would mean I couldn't use the bathroom?  Did you have this problem?

Hi everyone,  I havent had mine removed, they are a real pain in the ***, I guess literally. Anyways I thought I would mention for people suffering, what I do is I take saran wrap and wrap in around my finger lube it up with aloe vera mixed with tea tree oil, then I clean it with my finger to get the left over feces out of there. Then I wash off my finger (stillwraped in plastic) then I  drip natural healing oil for skin tags from http://www.amoils.com . It hasn't healed the skin tags perhaps because mine are hemorrhoidal (I don't know) but what I do know is that it does help alot! It feels really good too in a soothing sort of way.`Its made it some what bearable but it can be a very taxing maintenance to keep up with. I would like to know how people are coping weeks, months or years after the surgery if possible.

My colorectal dr did mine. I dont want anyone near that area if its not their specialty. I paid a $250 surgery copay.
