Skin tags after LIS are common. I went in with one tag and came out of the surgery with 5. Only one was painful though, and it was extremely tender for a couple of days and then gradually shrunk and became almost painless over the course of about two weeks.
My surgeon instructed me to take 3 sitz baths per day (plus one after any BM's), but I preferred a full bath. You may want to do the sitz baths more often (or a full bath) because it is very comforting and also speeds healing.
Good luck with your healing, and I hope that things improve quickly for you.
