I didn't really know about the skin 'tag' until a few days ago, or at least I didn't understand what it meant. It is also called a sentinel pile, is it not, or have I got that wrong? I have this tiny lump, like a minute hemorrhoid, which doesn't hurt (everything else hurts down there so I suppose this is one joy...so to speak). I had a day without pain yesterday, but today back with a vengeance. I have just tried this evening putting some zinc oxide cream on the outside which actually brought some immediate relief. Earlier, with the knife like pain that I often have, used Analpram inside (which a surgeon gave me to use on the outside, though why he did I don't know when my skin is thinning outside). He said I had hemorrhoids, but as I have had three ops and a thrombosed one too, I knew THAT wasn't right. When all this first started, before I altered my diet, etc., I had bleeding, but have managed to get that under control with my very boring diet.
Sorry just jumping in on the conversation. Hello everyone!
