No More Discomfort.

Addressing the common concern of removing excess tissue surrounding the rectum can be accomplished in-office with anal skin tag removal in Cincinnati. Dr. Amy Brenner and her team of skilled professionals specialize in compassionate treatments that prioritize your comfort and well-being.

What are Anal Skin Tags?

Anal skin tags, also called rectal skin tags, are growths of excess tissue on the outside of the rectum. They are extremely common and often mistaken as hemorrhoids. Anal skin tags completely harmless; however, they can cause discomfort, embarrassment or decreased confidence during sexual intimacy and hygiene issues.

What Causes Anal Skin Tags?

The most common cause is having a history of hemorrhoids or an anal fissure (tear in the skin of the anus). Although the hemorrhoid or fissure resolves in time, in its place a skin tag forms. Both of these conditions are very common during or after pregnancy or in patients with chronic constipation. Another cause of anal skin tags is obesity.
