Skin tag is not a disease. It is a reaction to a disease. Your primary problem is anal fissure in which you will have pain during motions, burning or bleeding
Next Steps
treat constipation and fissure
1. No fibre from outside, as larger amount of stool will cause more pain
2. apply lidocaine jelly or if burning Cremagel H, Anometrogyl or Anosum thrice daily- safe in pregnancy
3. Warm tub baths thrice daily. don't put additives to water
4. If hard motions, Syp Duphalac 20 to 30 ml at bedtime- safe in pregnancy
Health Tips
do not get the skin tag cut when swollen. too much tissue will be sacrificed. above tt will be comforting
