Skin tag after stapler surgery for piles
I had stapler surgery for piles 6 weeks back. In the 3rd week i could feel a lump protuding out of my rectum which I showed to the doctor and he said it is a skin tag which will take 1-2 months to shrink or heal. He prescribed me sitcom forte for 10 days and during that time i felt better. After the course completion, its been a week and i had to strain in the morning for bowel movements and thus the tag is swollen and irritated. Can i take sitcom again for some days till the time i heal.

The skin tag can get reduced in size but probably won't go away completely and it shouldn't be an issue.
The skin tag itself isn't a symptom, it's a body's reaction to fissure.
So, don't worry much about the skin tag.
