Weird skin growth over rectal area

Postby ajl1239 » 04 Dec 2012, 16:57

Sorry if this sounds gross/weird!
I just took a quite warm sitz bath, and as is often case, when wiping, I saw some blood. So I decided to feel around more of my butt, to be honest.
In the area of the crack beneath my tail bone, I almost feel as if there is skin completely crossing the 'crack' (i.e. butt crack). Just a weird mess of skin that completely blocks smooth passage of tissue, fingers, whatever.
This particular area is also super tender, and at one point when I stuck my finger down there, seemed almost painful. Not sure if I touched the fissure or something else.
Any ideas or hypotheses at all as to what this skin might be? Could it be a combination of external hemorrhoid and skin tag? Something else? Bloody hell...

Could be a sentinel pile. These commonly develop with anal fissures. I developed one, but it was removed when I had the botox procedure. I didn't ask for it to be removed - I just woke up from the anaesthetic and found the surgeon had done it!

Thanks, Lauren -- how are you doing now? Was the botox a cure?

No, botox did improve things slightly but when it wore off after about four months, the muscle spasms and pain came back. Then I had the LIS operation which did cure me, and I'm fine now! :)

If you're worried about it and think it's causing you pain, you could get it checked out.

Yes, the sentinel pile or just skin tag, mine is very tender and painful to the point that when I get a flare up of my fissure I can not even touch the area specially the tag.
They get larger as the fissure becomes chronic, that happen with mine, they also get swollen to the point that it feels like a external hemorrhoid.

Hmmm...that's scary.
Do they ever get smaller? I seem to remember mine getting smaller once when I was on an antibiotic, but maybe I was just imagining.
Does your doc say that they will have to be surgically removed?
Just curious....

Before my fissure became chronic my sentinel pile used to shrink back to almost nothing, now it seems like is just getting bigger, to tell the truth that will be one of the things I want remove if I get my fissure fix.

Sorry, not to probe (no pun intended), but I'm also curious if you feel like the skin tag bleeds? It seems like I can have an entire BM with no blood at all in a big part of the anal area, but then if I try and wipe just a little bit near where the skin tag is, I seem to get blood.
