Good evening mam
What you are describing seems to be a Skin tag ( Sentinel pile) : Its just an extra skin that occurs as a result of passage of hard stools / chronic constipation.
Though its harmless , It won't disslove with any medication . You will have to get it excised by Surgery
Next Steps
Get a consultation to differentiate it from any other Perinal issue
Health Tips
Take High fibre diet , avoid spicy and oily foods , Sit in lukewarm water Tub for 10-15 mins ,2-3 times a day
