Last month if you guys remember I was having some bleeding and a constant feeling of swelling/pressure so I used a mirror to check it out and noticed some lumps... I started eating better and got over my constipation which completely cured the bleeding and swollen feeling. However, I cheated on my healthy diet over Christmas and ended up with a few days of diarrhea... Now I've been itchy back there. I figured it was just dry skin from taking really hot showers but I took a quick look anyway and noticed the bumps were still there... However there's no swollen feeling or bleeding so does that just mean these are just skin tags now? They're the same color as my skin, well one is slightly darker but they're causing no feelings of discomfort other than the itching-- which probably isn't hemorrhoid related cuz (1) it's gotten better since I started taking cooler showers and (2) it's gotten better with just Aquaphor lotion, no hydrocortisone lotion needed. But I'm basically just pretty disgusted with my body these days. I'm equally disgusted by either possibility-- the one where my hems are coming back, and also the one where these are skin tags I'm just gonna have to deal with for the rest of my life.
