As per the picture this looks like a skin tag or haemorrhoids. Both of them are not cancerous. We can differentiate skin tag and haemorrhoids only on physical examination. If it is skin tag it will stay there forever and it doesn’t need any treatment and no need to worry, if it is haemorrhoids then proper diet and sitz bath will improve
Next Steps
Take high fiber diet and do sitz bath with warm water and betadiene solution
Health Tips

Don’t worry first of all relax as it isn’t cancer. It could be external hemorrhoids or fissure or a normal skin discolouration.
Next Steps
If you are having constipation then do take laxatives & Sitz bath if painful.
Health Tips
If excessively painful/discharge noted immediately consult a general surgeon as it could be abscess.
