Yes,
crackingup that is exactly what I used to feel also, it was so painful and swollen that I could see the entire area with one side of my anus like pouring out no shape at all just red swollen skin and very irritated, also whenever the doctor will check my fissure and will manipulate the tag it was just so painful I would cry, then I would bleed.
Could not touch the tag for nothing, that's how bad it was, I keep telling my doctor that I believe the source of all my pain was the tag.
But as I started healing, the skin tag became less swollen and painful and when I decided to look again to the area I was soo surprised that my anus look almost normal, just a small piece of skin hanging, I thought I was disfigured for life, no longer I see the red angry area sticking ugly out.
I am very happy, this means that I am healing slowly but surely, I still get mild irritation but nothing like it was a few months ago, my sphincter is also very relaxed again, I remember touching the area and the spincter reaction to it was to tight itself. :D
Things can get better with time if you allowe yourself the time, but like everything some people never get relief and can not heal without surgery.
