Anal skin tags may cause symptoms such as itching, a foreign-body sensation, and stabbing pain. As the skin tags gradually enlarge, these symptoms typically worsen, causing increasing discomfort. Patients are advised to seek prompt evaluation at a reputable proctology department. During treatment, patients should maintain local cleanliness and dryness—washing the area thoroughly after each bowel movement—and follow a light, bland diet while avoiding spicy or irritating foods.
