Skin tags after hemorrhoids are usually harmless and don’t go away with creams or medicines. Medications can only help reduce associated symptoms like irritation or swelling, but won’t remove the tag.
If it’s not causing pain or hygiene issues, no treatment is needed.
If it is bothersome, a small procedure is the only effective option.
I’d recommend book a consultation so I can assess properly and guide you on whether treatment is needed and the safest option for you.

Next Steps
Observation: If the skin tag is not causing pain, bleeding, or difficulty in cleaning, it is medically harmless and does not strictly require treatment.
Prevent Constipation: The best way to prevent new tags from forming is to avoid straining. Maintain a high-fiber diet and drink plenty of fluids to keep stools soft.
Hygiene: Use soft, fragrance-free wipes or a bidet instead of harsh toilet paper to avoid irritating the tag.
